We use puriclean at the start of the season - but for the rest of the time - have a bottle with fresh water for drinking in the fridge. Once the kettle has been boiled for tea and coffee, the remainder is decanted into a bottle in the fridge where it can be used for drinking water.
As for forgetting the bottle opener - what a great way to get to know the neighbours! some people just need a small reason to start up a conversation and what better reason than 'I'm sorry but we seem to have forgotten our bottle opener!' could there be?

Trust me on this but use the puriclean at the start of the seASON then add puritab on every fill of the aquaroll and you will never ever need to worry about boiling and storing water - just enjoy your break. Just remember you could fill your aquaroll from a water point on site that has not been used for months.

We never use water from the caravan to drink, or to put in the kettle.  Not even with a new caravan which is theoretically pristine and clean. 

Somehow, we don't like the idea of using water which has sat around in an Aquaroll for hours and hours - often in full sun.  We do sanitise the Aquaroll, but there's no guarantee how hygienic it is inside.

We just keep a large squash bottle in the kitchen area and re-fill it from the site tap as required. 

or, you can always stick to drinking wine or beer if you want to be really safe!
