what all you guys use to clean the inside of the tank so will not contaminate the clean fluid for dispensing

I use an industrial degreaser from Zepp. You can buy this at Home Depot if you are in the US.

Follow the directions in the manual and clean out the tank!! Then only use distilled water.

I rinse mine in warm water,then run a vinegar,thyme oil,citrus oil mix through then rinse again,hang to dry. Seventh generation makes a disinfecting surface cleaner that's basically the same as my home made stuff. These cleaners are safe if you don't rinse it all out,leaves tubes smelling like nothing. No cleaner smell,no milk smell,no vinegar smell. You could probably do just vinegar, I just find the mix or the seventh generation,helps clean as well as disinfect as where vinegar sometimes can't do oily stuff like cream in milk. We are very happy with this milker, and the ease of use

I clean it once a week on the same day, by emptying the container and the base into the tub. I keep a squirt bottle with half water and half bleach, and spray inside the tank and nozzle, then spray the inside of the base, let sit for one minute, then rinse out with hot water and washcloth it comes spotlessly clean and is very easy to do.

Detach all the tubes except for the plunger , I use Vinegar and a drop or two of dawn dish soap. Then apply inside plunger, rinse with warm or hot water and flush out. Vinegar helps with residue, and Dawn dish soap helps with cleaning. Other then that, I have also used what the vets use to sterilize their equipment. ( Can't remember the name of it ) I'm sure if you ask you vet, they can tell you what to use. Hope this helps.

best used with tube, otherwise place on bottom of tank, don't think it will clean as does with the refill tube since the water flows through.

I cleaned the pump and all connecting tubes with warm soap and water when I got it. I then pumped at least 3 gallons through it to sure it was rinsed out. It comes with plastic cleaning tools to help clean the inside of the tubes and pump. After it was cleaned initially I only clean it a few times a year, but I guess that is personal preference. I have had this for two years now and it still works great.

I have only used it on the exterior. An Alger brush is best for the interior when the tank is full. Any chemicals can harm the fish. It works great on the exterior and keeps down dust and little fingerprints.

I suppose any good degreaser will do, but the tank needs to surgically clean. No oils at all. You need the metal prep. The metal prep roughens the parent material at the microscopic level, providing "tooth" or something for the POR 15 to attach to. There are other chemical preps that will do the same job, but you should use their material. Mostly because if you knew which materials would work, you would not be posting this question. Metal Prep is very good stuff and you can be assured it will do this very important job.A previous user mentions muratic acid. It is not a good substitute. It is more dangerous to use and does not leave a rust resistant surface, leading to possible rust formation as the tank dries.

I've been adding about five to ten drops into the tank every refill. I've been doing this for three months. Just make sure you clean the tank and base at least once a week. Use vinegar and warm water to clean both. By the way, I've only needed to use five drops of young living essential oils since these oils are highly potent.

The inside of tank needs to be as clean as possible for product to seal effectively. The better prep work the better the seal. I would suggest using a pressure washer or car wash wand to clean out tank, maybe use a couple links of chain inside tank and shake it to get as must off as possible.

It's very easy to clean it inside. All you have to do it is wipe it clean. I highly recommend this coolant.

You don't really have to clean it. But if you want to you can mix a little soap and warm water and pour it through the unit. If you use it for other liquids besides water just make sure you flush it out with water really good. :)

Hello. I take a dish rag, pour alcohol on it, place it inside the unit. I then use a long wooden kitchen spoon to move the rag around to clean the build up. For the harder to reach areas, I have a long thin brush that was originally purchased in a 3 brush set to clean my fish tank. Those work great. I also use q-tips dipped in alcohol to clean the inside of the detachable parts. Hope this helps

That's easy, just snap that plastic part off and clean. If you want to clean inside the valve itself, just squirt some dish washing soap into the bottle with some warm water and shake it up. Then just squirt that mixture out and rinse it. Camelbak made some videos about it. Here's one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_G6MXnRDTM

Any cleaning solution - or even water. Just dilute cleaner according to directions
