Hi,

I've got a fridge with a water dispenser which hasn't been used for quite a
while, not I've gone on a bit of a health kick, I thought I'd start using it
again.
However, whenever it's used the water is full of particles/floating things!
I guess the pipes need cleaning as they'd been standing for a couple of
years, all plumbed in just not used.
I've tried running loads of water through, this has made it better, but not
to a standard I'd actually drink!

The ice maker has been in use continuously, and that is fine, I filled a
glass with ice and let it evaporate, no nasties were seen!

So, any thoughts on how to get the pipes clean?

Cheers

Mat

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mat C" saying

Test tube cleaners or similar - you know the type of thing, bristles
twisted on a wire, available in all sorts of flexibility.
If the pipework is too twisty, can you disconnect it and fill it with a
solution of sodium hydroxide /borax / bleach?

When I had a boat the fresh water tank tended to get gunged up, I found
bicarb a good solution (pun unintended. Mind you there were no
convoluted pipes to worry about, just one about 22mm diameter.
