I'm free of prostate cancer for 5 years now.
All men over age 50 should get an annual PSA blood test. Mine had a low reading, but the yearly jump was significant. The biopsy showed cancer just entering the aggressive stage. Dr. Hackenslash removed it.
"Sodium metabisulphite or potassium metabisulphite is used by beer and wine makers for non toxic sterilizing equipment and containers. At a rate of 1 tablespoon to each 5 gallons of water, it will sanitize the system in the way that you suggest. (leaving it in to slosh around a while) It rinses out cleanly and leaves no aftertaste."

Wow that's really cool! Let's put beer in our water heaters (let's just fill up the fresh water tank too) and get it right from the "tap"! I knew there was a really good reason for the outside shower!

When mixed with water, sodium metabisulfite releases sulfur dioxide (SO2), a pungent, unpleasant smelling gas that can also cause breathing difficulties in some people.
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (permeator), of eye contact (irritant).
Potential Chronic Health Effects:
Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer), of ingestion, of inhalation (lung irritant).
MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast.
The substance may be toxic to upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
Eye Contact:
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact:
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Cold water may be used.Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact:
Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Precautions:
Keep locked up.. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with skin. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Moisture sensitive. Air Sensitive

Quote: Any non-toxic sanitizing methods out there...
I suppose you could inject the little germs with a lethal injection and it might be more humane but might take a while . Hard to kill bugs without killing bugs. There certainly are more expensive ways to sanitize but really nothing is BETTER than bleach. I don't think I'd be re-inventing THAT wheel.
"Determine the capacity of the entire fresh water system, including the water heater. You may want to estimate the capacity of the water lines, or you can leave them out of the equation. Take the total capacity and multiply by 0.13. The result is the number of ounces of bleach to use. Pour the bleach into a container and fill the rest of the container with water. Pour the contents of the container into the fresh water holding tank. This prevents straight bleach from contacting anything. Fill up the fresh water tank. Using the onboard pump and pump the water from the holding tank through all water lines and the water heater. Once all lines are filled, top of the holding tank so the bleach/water mixture is touching all sides of the tank. Let sit for at least 4 hours but no more than 24 hours. Drain holding tank and water heater. Fill and drain holding tank completely at least 2 times before filling again to use water to flush out water lines and water heater. If you still smell the bleach after doing this, fill and flush again. "
Just finished it a few minutes ago in fact... For my 40 gallon tank, I use 6oz of bleach.
