What are the sanitizing guidelines for drinking water tanks?

1. Can chlorine be used as a sanitizing agent for these units? If so what strength is recommended?

Comment Portable Tank Group Team: Yes, this is a satisfactory method. We recommend no more than 5% solution.

An alternative means of sanitization is with an industry approved sterilizing agent. There are a number of suitable options available. Please contact Portable Tank Group to receive our info flyer.

2. Are the new units clean and sanitized and ready to use? Or do you recommend a sanitizing rinse?

Comment Portable Tank Group Team: The tanks are clean when built, but not sanitized. We know many customers that use the tanks straight from the shipping carton and have never heard of any problems. If you have any concerns on this issue, then we would recommend sanitizing as in 1. above.
