EEEWWW you guys actually drink the water from the tank?  I use it for washing dishes.  Drinking water comes in plastic jugs, and is filtered at home.  That being said, I did clean the water tank on Lola when I first got her, using common household bleach.  I don't think I've ever tried the water though.  What did you use to fill the tank with?  Standard garden hose?  Those make the water taste horrible.
