Roll up water conrainers and bladders

[firestarter31]

Guys , looking for a bit of advice. I recently bought a 10 lt roll up water container for cannoeing trips, worked well the first few nights , but the last time i used it it had a stong smell of TCP. My new baldder has the same problem , what it the reccomended way of getting rid of this smell?
cheers

I use Milton's (the stuff used to disinfect babies bottles) for my water bladders. Readily available, cheap and easy to use. Putting them in the freezer between uses stops any nasties from forming while they're being stored too.

Cheers, Michael.

Store it in the freezer between uses works for me although 10l ones could take up lots of room.
I got a couple of these ones and they work great with no nasty smells.

Fill with water, add a spoon of bleach, store in black back until needed. That said, the freezer idea sounds good and I'll give that a go.
