Hey Carl, I did this last year, I think I used 2 tablespoons per gallon on the bleach, let it sit 24 hours and drain. Then re fill with 1 cup of vinegar per gallon and let it sit 24 hours, drain, and refill and drink. The vinegar removes the bleach smell. This process worked well for me. Jeff

I don't have proportions (and they are important, since you want to kill bugs but not damage lines and pump seals), but in the past I've: - added diluted bleach to the tank, let it sit for a while - drain, repeat - drain, repeat - flush out at least 3 times completely with fresh water when you are done. There may still be a bit left, but when you are talking a few tablespoons over 10+ gallons, it will not hurt you even if it tastes a bit "bleachy".
