No, they don't do that. They add chlorine to the water. Every once in a while they might flush it and put in fresh water and chlorine, which is what they did after her body was found.
I have a water holder on our counter. It is a couple years old now. I pour water from plastic jugs into it for drinking and cooking. I have never had to rinse it out or clean it. No mold or anything. No chlorine in it either.
If you think about it, the pipes that bring the water into your house and the plumbing in your house don't get a scrub down from you probably ever right? Wouldn't even be possible to do. But you still drink that water. I agree it is gross. But it seems to be an accepted part of modern life.
Okay, I'm a little confused here. There are four tanks, so it's entirely possible to empty one while three stay in use, climb in and scrub the empty one. No problem with that. Opposite to pipes.
But now, let me see. You have a tank, it's filled with fresh water from the pipes. It has a certain fluctuation because people use water and we talk here several hundred rooms full of people, so lets say, it's some big fluctuation. Now ... you go, because you want to clean a tank from something in the water by scrubbing it down with water form the very same pipes? Huh? The same bacteria, the same fluorides, the same everything, that is in that tank comes also out of the pipes ... no win-situation on the cleaning front.
