During my time in engineering we cleaned the potable water system every month. All filters were removed and the system flushed with a cleaning agent followed by chlorine. This was left in the system for a couple of hours and then the system was flushed with clean water untill the chlorine levels were within a certain band. When all this was completed, new filters would be installed and the aircraft was good to go.
