Do you folks suggest replacing the 30 year-old plumbing lines just because of the life forms you suspect may be growing in there? Or some other reason? When I got my boat, my freshwater system smelled like the best parts of a swamp, and the filters were all plugged up with biological goop. I went through a number of treatments, bleach, all kinds of stuff. It actually seemed to work pretty well, everything smells and tastes fine now, although I'm sure there are probably some nooks and crannies still harboring life.
