How often should a tank for potable water storage/supply be washed?

depends. if you regularly use the water and refill it with clean water, not too often. I live in a motorhome and use a 100 gal. tank for daily water use. every 3rd tank I add one cap full unscented bleach to 100 gallons of water. I have used this tank for 9 1/2 years and it is still clean. If your storage is for emergency use you'll want to change and clean the tank regularly. Plastic tanks are easier to clean than metal tanks and require less frequent attention than metal. Use the taste test. also check into water purifiers at the local RV place.How often should a tank for potable water storage/supply be washed?
If in constant use not to worry. If left for a while put a little chlorine in it over night , flush and good to go.How often should a tank for potable water storage/supply be washed?
it should be flushed at least after the tank runs out before it is filled up again
