However, whenever it's used the water is full of particles/floating
things!
So, any thoughts on how to get the pipes clean?


Denture cleaning tablets?

When the children were little we had a bottle of Milton's (1% Sodium
Hypochlorate), and we used a dilute solution of it for many years after
for cleaning and desmellifying bottles, flasks,food containers and the
like.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, the trick I think is going to be getting
the cleaning stuff down the tube. There's a decent length of piping leading
to the outlet, which goes around in a large loop a number of times at the
back of the fridge, to cool the water. The only way I can thing to get this
stuff in would be with a syringe.. Any other thoughts?

Cheers
