Scumy reservoir tank
« on: 13 October 2008, 19:00 »
I've just left my reservoir tank in a bucket of bleach and water overnight but it looks as scumy as ever. Anyone know a way of getting them clean?

Cheers

I was going to suggest bleach. Try repeating this and it should sort it. Make sure it is well rinsed before tring again.
