Drain and flush the fresh water holding tank.
Several times....
Then fill and use the pump to flush water thru it and out the cold/hot water lines...thru faucets/showers/low point drains
Water heater should have been 'BYPASSED' (cold inlet closed, Bypass open, hot out secured) so anti-freeze did go into water heater.
Remove drain from WH Tank and make sure it gets flushed out----after hot/cold lines-system is fully flushed.
*WH Bypassed.....water will flow from cold to hot w/o going thru WH Tank which allows you to flush plumbing system w/o putting anything into WH
After flushing with pump....hookup hose to City Water inlet and flush again so portion of plumbing line from city water inlet to cold water line gets flushed
*Pump off----shouldn't run anyway if City Water pressure is higher then pump pressure switch
