Every now and then I will buy a slab of small bottled water to use as reusable ice blocks when I am away on an extended fishing trip to keep the odd fish or two cold and they can also be used for ice in our afternoon "Drinkies" at a pinch
I clean out my rainwater tanks pretty much every year as I do my gutters and I take off the downpipes for the first "Flush" so that all the dust and bird crap that collects on the roof doesn't end up in the tanks.
It IS a PITA doing this but it IS worthwhile doing it to keep the water nice and clean.
I HATE town water especially in coffee/tea and I always take at least 100l of rainwater with us when we go away anywhere for our cuppa's
