Do you bleach / santize your hot water tank?
I've always just done the cold water system. And only every few years at that since I don't drink it. I had read someone bleached the hot water tank too. What do you recommend?

I have Full Timed in my MH since July 2002 and I do drink the water from the fresh tank, use it for cooking etc.
In all that time I have never sanitize the system. A lot of the campgrounds I go to use city water that has chlorine in the water. And in the winter I use well water that is not treated.
As a halogen, chlorine is a highly efficient disinfectant, and is added to public water supplies to kill disease-causing pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoans, that commonly grow in water supply reservoirs, on the walls of water mains and in storage tanks.
