•• Turn on the water pump, and circulate the dilute bleach solution through the entire system. The water heater is still
winterized. Run water out of all three faucets (galley, washroom, and outside shower), hot and cold, until you smell
chlorine. With the water pump on, open the city water valve and let the pump push water through the fill line for a minute
or so by turning the black plastic handle horizontally. Close the city water valve by turning the handle back to the vertical
position.
•• Pull the anode rod out of the water heater and flush out the water heater tank with a hose. Install the new anode rod using
Teflon tape on the threads, and close the pressure relief valve. Take the system out of water heater bypass mode by
turning the three valves on the lines in front of the water heater 90 degrees so that the handles all point horizontally (see
photo).
