Was it filled with Evian!?

What, Has water become such an expensive commodity that I need to start
salvaging what I can.

Dan,

I'd check the water tank as I believe it may have a drain plug on it. I'd
find it difficult to believe it wouldn't have one.

For sanitizing, I clipped the following from my old Westlake manual:

To ensure complete sanitation of the potable built-in water system, we
suggest the following procedure be used on a new system, one that has not
been used for a period of time, or one that has become contaminated. Prepare
a chlorine solution using one gallon of water and 1/4 cup of Clorox or Purex
household bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite solution). Close all drain valves
and faucets. Pour one gallon of solution into tank. Complete filling of tank
with fresh water. Where applicable, turn on the + 12 volt electric water
pump or pump the handle on the hand faucet. Open the faucets individually
until all air has been released from the pipes and entire system is filled.
Pump water up to the sink and shower. Allow to stand for three hours. Drain
the entire system by opening all valves and faucets. Flush with potable
fresh water far several minutes to flush out the chlorine solution. After
flushing, close all drains and faucets. Refill the built-in tank with fresh
potable water. The system is now ready to use. To remove any excessive
chlorine taste or odor which may remain, prepare a solution of one quart
vinegar to five gallons water and allow solution to agitate in the tank for
several days by vehicle motion. Drain tank and again flush with fresh
potable water.

well, you can drill a 2" hole in the tank, that's an easy way to do
it... obviously, there are drawback to this method!  ;-)

if there is no drain valve, maybe you can use a flexible tube, insert it
in the intake of the tank, and you may be able to drain it by gravity.
(same as if you were emptying a gas tank
