After you re-winterize with the pink stuff , blow it back out after you put it thru and "winterized everything". There is no reason to leave it in the system at that point. You avoid bad taste that way.
I think this is good advice.
But in my case, I can't bring myself to drink water from the storage tank, especially since I am the 3rd owner and don't know what the two previous did.
All of my drinking water comes in plastic bottles.......and I recycle the empties.
Actually, I agree . We don't drink the water from our holding tank either and we are first owners. :) We also use bottled water and recycle as well.
The only way that I found to really clean out a fresh water tank is to cut a port in it and reach inside and clean it. I had access to the top of my water tank, so I was able to cut a hole and replace it will a marine deck plate to seal it . I was amazed at the crud that I got out of my tank.
