Sanitize freshwater
So... When I sanitize the freshwater system, do I run the water through the water heater? And do I remove the water filter or leave it in???

I don't have a filter, but I would think you would replace it at the beginning of each season. So, yes, I would replace the filter.
If you don't have a water heater bypass, then yes, fill the water heater with sanitizing solution, also (you don't have to turn it on and heat the water, though). Be sure to open the hot water faucets (sink, shower, outdoor shower, if you have one), to circulate completely (assuming you were already going to run the cold faucets).
Same with when you are circulating fresh water to clear the sanitizing solution. Open all faucets.
