What do you normally do to de-winterize your fresh water system in the spring?

A few tablespoons of unscented bleach. Let it sit and flush out.

Bleach or West Marine sell water system treatment that works pretty good. I flush flush flush.....

Flush Flush Flush by the time I get all the pink out it's time to put it back in  but we don't drink from it

I flush it constantly.  Then I make sure every weekend I flush it.  We use the tank instead of city hookup just to keep it fresh.  We use the ice maker for our drinks, so I empty that out each week as well.  I don't mind drinking the tank water, but we do take along a 5 gallon portable bag of water for long weekends on the hook.  I can't say I've ever used bleach in my 14 years of boat ownership.  (city water has enough stuff in it already)

I use the tank all season, water is fine from it and it never sits long.
