sanitize water heater?

I'm getting ready to sanitize my water system. Should I sanitize the hot water heater or by pass it? Thanks for your advice!

If water is going to go through it you should sanitize it. Just flush it well, like you would the rest of the system, before heating water in it. By flushing I mean run lots of water through your hot water faucets to get all the sanitizer out of the water heater. Don't open up the heater via the anode rod or you could just contaminate the heater you just sanitized. Jim

Even if you drained and flushed it, sanitizing isn't a bad idea.
