I always flush the line before connecting to campground water. As we all know, the water is tested and chlorine is added so it is just as good as bottled water.
Here is a photo of a well flushed line that never changed in appearance.
I'm sure it tasted just as good as it looks!
If you drink this water, you won't need to take mineral supplement pills! You'll get all those minerals naturally! Just think of the money you can save buying over-the-counter pills? ;)
On a more serious note, just because water may taste bad, does not mean it is bad. Really. City and bottled water has all those minerals that treatment strips out. Calcium is one of them. So we drink bottled water, then turn right around and take calcium supplements. (think about it).
My house is on a well. The water is very rich with iron (red... call it rust???) We have a whole home filtration system to remove the rust and other minerals. The water does taste different before the filtration and after the filtration, and even the color is slightly different. But neither will hurt anyone drinking it.
Would I drink the stuff coming out of the end of that hose in the photo? Answer: I'm not sure. I'd have to be there. There again, there is a difference between high concentration of minerals and unhealthy contamination. Sulfur water is the most horrible smelling water you can imagine, but it will not hurt you to drink it.
