cleaning aluminum water tank

Personally I would never use any cholorine product of any kind in an aluminum tank. Again, this is just IMHO, but you are much better off and doing your tank a much better service if you use and industrial strength food grade Hydrogen Peroxide. I believe the concentration I have used in the past has been around 35% but if you take my advice then I recommend that you be very careful with it because although at that strength wont have the effect on your tank that chlorine will it can have serious effect on your skin.
