Blowing out the water lines

[alwhite00]

I run the tank as low as possible, dump a couple gallons of pink in, run the faucets and toilet one at a time and call it a day. In the spring I run a couple tanks of fresh water with about a cup of bleach in the first one and all is well. We don't drink the water. We only use it for washing etc. so it works for us. My water has no odor.

A couple gallons will not fill the water heater though.

Drain your water heater and leave the valve open. Then bypass your water heater by connecting the in and out supply lines together. That way you avoid wasting 5 gallons of pink to fill the water heater, and you can still have pink in the supply lines.
