If you want to disinfect it, just turn it on for an hour or two…

It takes a temperature of about 170 degrees F (77 degrees C) to disinfect water. How hot does an RV water heater get?
I hoping not 170, but may get to 140?
In my experience leaving a sanitizer in the water heater over night, will help clean the visible cr@p out of it, that you can see, using an inspection light.
