[alberg30] Chlorination of Ship's Fresh Water-things not to do

[Tom Sutherland]

Joe .... This question was recently covered on the "Liveaboard List"
and  Bleach was left in over night and then rinsed with white vinegar.
The vinegar was then flushed out with fresh water. I believe the vinegar
was to remove the bleach residue. I have not personally tried this.
