Yup... shock treat the whole fresh water system... then flush it out a few times. Put some vinegar into it after the shock treatment has been flushed to get rid of any nasty residual odors or tastes... and then rinse a couple more times.
Before you shock treat though, you should check the hoses. If they're coated in gunk, it would probably be wise to install new hoses after shock treating the system. No sense in getting the gunk in the new hoses. Most FW systems use a clear hose, and if it is black, or grey with gunk... ditch them. If you're really worried, might be worth replacing the FW faucet fixtures too.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
