[Public-list] Water tank and keel

[Gordon Laco]

Interesting discovery David -

I found what I thought was a lot of sand in mine too and wondered how it got
there...

Despite what I thought was a thorough cleaning episode and replacing the
hoses our water still comes out at the galley dirty and even a little fizzy
after it has lain in the tank a while - can't fathom what the heck the
problem is.
