Not much to it ... I just pour 1/2 cup of bleach into a gallon of water, pour that mix into the fresh water tank, fill the tank with water, run the various faucets until they run clear, let it sit overnight. The next day I drain that mix from the system, refill the tank with fresh water and run that through. Some might add vinegar to offset the bleach smell, some might flush the system with fresh water several times but I don't bother as the bleach smell eventually disperses.
Thank you for the info.
What about water pumps and water heaters? Anything I need to know/be concerned with those units?
Your water heater will have a bypass valve that must be returned to the proper position for normal operation. Valve is located on the back side of the WH tank.
