Somehow I don't believe you understand the concept of plumbing. Activating the cold water heater by turning it on either electric or propane does nothing to circulate the water in the water heater tank. That's done by ensuring the water heater bypass taps are off and you end up filling the tank by running the pump. Open both hot and cold taps at all your sinks/showers to get the javex/water mix through them.
