dewinterizing

Is it necessary to pour bleach through the system if we don't use water from any of the internal water lines? We just bring our water in a jug and run it through the sink and out, so we never actually use any water that comes through the water lines. This is the first year that we have done it this way, and it doesn't seem like we would need to sanitize the lines. Does this make sense?

What year and model TaB do you have?  What other lines do you have?  Was all the plumbing used in the past?  Did you winterize with antifreeze in the lines?

If your you do not drink it, no real need to bleach it.  Just flush it out really well at the start of exhaust season, and do not leave water in it when not in use.

That said, bleaching the tank at the start of each season, insures a clean, safe tank of water, regardless of how you use it.  If not drinking the water, do a bleach treatment, drain and refill, and you are good to go.

I like clean, safe weather even for just washing up in.
