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?

  • We sanitize while still in WH bypass mode. We will rinse the system a couple of times before we do the final rinse using baking soda and draining the WH tank each time seemed over-kill. No problems yet.

    When I do the water system ... I do the ENTIRE Fresh water system.. including the hot.
  • I always sanitize the entire system, after all the hot and cold water comes out of the same faucets.
