Hi Peggie, During our cruise this summer we were in some remote areas where the only water available to us included a boil water advisory warning. We took some on to use for showers and washing dishes and boiled it when we consumed it. Now that we're home. I'd like to decontaminate the tank and hoses, etc. Beyond flushing the system with safe water, what would you recommend to get rid of any possible residual bugs? Thanks for your help.

It's the recommended method for sanitizing a system that's become contaminated: http://archive.sailboatowners.com/archive/archiverview.tpl?rid=2005011154450.15&forumabr=bb&fno=3&&model=none&forum=none&andor=wa&keyword=Fresh%20water&pr=p,r&ssite=HOW&srt=none&start=46&max=100&db=2005&cart=1123012892221567 Oops...Apparently the link to the thread is too long to fit in the specs...you'll have to copy/paste the rest of it into your browser address bar.
