I have three, 7 gallon jugs of water. The jugs were from the camping section at walmart. I can’t remember how old that water is, but I wouldn't want to drink it. It’s at least five years old. Can I just dump it and refill or do I need to clean or sanitize? I’m thinking it would be best to put a little bleach in for a day or two then rinse? How much bleach?

I am sure I have drunk worse than what in in there. Out of an abundance of caution, I would clean them out with one cup of bleach for each gallon of water. Rinse. Refill with 10 to 12 drops of bleach per gallon of water.

Some people age like fine wine. I aged like milk … sour and chunky.

I would not add more bleach after that.
