Ihave been using backpack for about 5 months now , this morning i came to fill it up and the mesh filter came out when I took the lid off , it was then i noticed all the insides were covered in a green film which I am assuming is algae , has anyone any idea how this comes about and any ideas about whats best to use to clean it out , thanks Dave.            Just checked tds and its coming out at zero

how do you store it once you have finished?

[davidpitts]

I leave it in the van.

Try taking the lid off so air gets at it and take it in, it will be from the long cold damp night.

Mines left on the trailer in a garage full all night and all weekend.  Had it a year now, never had a problem!

I have a water feature in the back garden, i have had it for a few years now. you have to refill it with water so one day I filled it with pure water and within a week the stones had all turned green and were very slimey. After cleaning them I refilled with tap water and had no problems at all.
This problem was due to the pure water, why I don't know butmaybe some one has the answer.
