a steady stream of water flows from the hot faucets, pump must be ON, then the water
heater is full of water.

-
rine smell is gone. Include the outside shower and outside kitchen also.
20. Close the faucets and then turn the pump OFF.
Lingering Chlorine Taste:
If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system
with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush as
necessary.
The vinegar solution may damage the water heater and water filter. Both
must be bypassed prior to adding the vinegar solution.
Follow the steps outlined in

drain the water heater. Set th
e water heater bypass
valves to
