If you are just sanitizing the FWT, no need to bypass anything. 1/4 cup bleach per 15 gallons added through the tank fill, run water pump through each faucet til you can smell chlorine. Let sit for a couple hours, then drain and rinse til smell is gone.

Does every water heater have a bypass? Seems like an easy way to save manufacturing cost by not supplying one?
My water heater does not have a bypass. I think that because it is mounted under the bed where it is difficult to access they thought it was not needed.
I wish it did have one it sure would make life easier. I could add one but, I'm afraid to mess with the plumbing on my 27 year old TT. It still has the original water heater. Which still has, what looks like, the original anode rod screwed into the back of it. I'm afraid to try and screw it out.
I must ask,
How are you draining the WH without ever removing the anode rod ?
It's 27 yrs old so something is working. Lol
