I follow the standard procedure sanitizing my fresh water tank. Bleach and cycle 2-3 tanks of water thru the system. I have followed this on 3 cruisers now. Most recent boat seems to have had some minor mineral build up at the faucets. I noticed it also in the head sink. I used some vinegar to deal with it and all good. I didn't use the boat much last year and when we did the water had strong sulphur smell. I drained the tank and had it winterized for the season. Ok, so this coming season I am considering pouring a strong concentration of vinegar in my fresh water tank and follow the same procedure for sanitizing. My thoughts are, if there is some mineral build up or residue in the tank or lines this will disolve it and be flushed out with a couple of tank cycles. Any thoughts on this idea?
