Funky tasting water

Does anyone know how to go about sanitizing the fresh water system? We made the mistake of putting rv antifreeze into our fresh water system and now it tastes bad. I know it is not toxic but it smells and tatses bad.

Add .13 oz of bleach per gallon of water into the tank. Fill the tank up with fresh water. Open each faucet until you smell bleach then close that faucet. Let the system stand for at least four hours and then drain. Refill water tank and flush again, no bleach this time. Keep flushing until you're satisfied with the smell/taste of the water.

Put a container of baking soda in the tank on one of the rinses and it will help take out the bleach smell / taste faster.
