Cleaning Water Jugs

[Surgtech94]

We have a couple of 6 gallon Water Jugs(Camco) that I’d like to clean/disinfect the inside of. So we can use these to add additional water to the camper. What’s the best way? We have a water filter, but won’t attach to the water jugs. Thank you

I'm a bleach user...quarter cup per 15 gallons.

Put a few granules of hot tub sodium dichlor in the jugs. Don't have to deal with trying to get rid of the bleach taste.

I hope your handle Surgetech deals with electrical surges and not surgery , if you don’t know how to disinfect a water jug….

Basically the same way you sanitize the water tank in your camper. For a six gallon jug you need very little bleach or peroxide. An ounce of bleach would be plenty. Fill the jug, let it sit for a couple hours, drain/fill twice.

I usually use Hydrogen Peroxide. It's not caustic or harmful like bleach and still disinfects. Pour a bit in the bottles, fill with water, let sit for a bit and dump and let air dry.

Thank you
