Leigonella breeds like a mofo at lukewarm temps, and is fed by iron oxide (rust) which most radiators experience at some point in time.
great idea, but just be careful, it should be safe for hand washing, but i'd advise against showering as there is a high likelyhood this would create aerosols, which you would then breathe in and put you in real danger of contracting leigonaires disease.
if you have a decent supply of water purification tablets, or bleach, you could chlorinate the water with that and almost eliminate the risk completely
No i just use it for washing my hands, getting the muck and dirt off my hands so it doesn't go all over my car, guess it would be easy enough to fit a filter, but don't see the point, when its just to wash hands n maybe armpits and other sweaty bits post shtf
