I Disagree
Dead rats, cats, birds, squirrels, cockroaches, in storage tanks in
attics often give people the heebie jeebies about their water supply.

So fit a lid that complies with the regulations.
Once you have a proper lid there is enough chlorine in the water filling the
tank to keep it clean if she washes each day.
the other solution is a combi or some other mains hot water system.
You do not want to remove chlorine from wash water unless there is a
specific medical reason.
