that what mike has put a link 2 is to feed your ro rog, so you dont need that.

if your neighbour has outside tap ask them if you can plug on their just to wash the tank out.

as someone has already said just rinse it well a few more times then put it to fill, then check the tds from the top, im sure this is what i did with mine.

Roger. for your ibc bleach problem. Just connect hose to your tap (when you get a fitting sorted) and just fill it to overflowing and empty it out, Do this 3 or 4 times should be ok.

I need something unless I can get some better clips.

That one that was put on last night has a broken clip already, and I only took it off once!

Blimey that's a lot of water. Can't let that much out onto the patio!
I'll have to wait until I've got the IBC>hoselock connector, so I can put it down the drain.

you can get ones that are designed for that kind of tap but they are still not great. i keep one spare just in case my outside tap freezes, and yes i broke the clip as well so use pliers to tighten it

rog,

 if you go for one of those fittings mike put a link up for we can run the pipe under your units to the back door then put a joiner on the inlet from the ro then when you want to make water just connect them up at the back door,
