I rinse everything to start with including the red and blue low point drains.
Followed by sanitizing everything including the water heater with 1/4 cup of bleach containing hyper chlorate per 15 gallons of tank capacity into the fresh water tank (3/4 cup for my 43 gal system) and I run it through all of the lines (including low points) and let it sit for say 6 hrs.
Then I rinse everything well including low points. By “rinse” I mean fill the fresh tank and run water through the lines. Completely fill the water heater and then continue running water through it to rinse it. Let this unchlorinated water sit to try and dissolve residual Clorox.
Then drain and fill the tank to desired level.
I know that is a lot of water but this has worked for me.
