I give Calypso's two 45 gal tanks, the pressure accumulator, pumps, 110V/engine waste heat and the Webasto water heaters several complete flushes then add a little bleach and another couple of flushes. During the flushing process I clean the two strainers (one for each tank) and the galley faucet strainer.
The 4 gal 110V hot water heater seems to be where most of the RV antifreeze hides. I send a significant portion of the flush water through it tank often letting is sit for a while.

Has anyone got any good way to get the antifreeze taste out of the water system, other than just repeated flushing with fresh water? A pal of mine suggests that the best way to winterize the FW system is with (cheap) Vodka. Can anyone think of a reason that wouldn't work? You certainly wouldn't have the hassle of flushing the system in the spring. I wonder if the alcohol would rot to rubber in the pump?
