Lingering Chlorine Taste: If a chlorine taste still lingers in the water, flush the water sys-
tem with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush
as necessary. The vinegar solution may damage the water heater or the water filter, so both
must be bypassed again before performing this operation.

do not drain the water heater.
Water heater bypass valves (if so equipped) should be set to BYPASS; close valves
A&B and open valve C. Do not remove the water heater drain plug.
