That's why I suggested Milton fluid for helping to disinfect the tank and pipes.

Milton is about the most harmless sterilising fluid you can get and although I think it was originally designed for babies' bottles, it can be used for a lot more besides these.

Unless you have double check valves on any taps connected to the cold water mains I wouldn't use any chemicals to clean that

Good point! But looking at state of tank, think its a bit late to worry about contamination?

What's a double check valve? And if contamination is a possibility, could this stuff have been getting into my cold water supply for drinks? O.o

Milton is sodium hypochlorite... Domestos is...sodium hypochlorite, in common parlance, bleach! The rest is marketing!
