Fully fill fresh tank and ad a cup or 2 of unscented bleach.
Turn on water pump and pump mixture through all lines till pink stops pumping out.
Drink a beer.
Drain fresh tank.
Drink another beer while tank drains.
Fill fresh tank and pump through lines till bleachy water is gone.
Turn off pump
Remove hot water tank plug
Reconfigure hot water tank bypass for in line use.

Turn off near by hot water tap, turn of pump lube (food grade lube) and reinsert the anode rod in the tank.
Turn on pump and allow tank to fill.
Test all systems.
Done.
