Okay, okay, I stand corrected. I was wrong once before: second marriage...

Warren, commercial dishwashers are in that temperature range.  180 degrees
really isn't that high and boiling water does not break down into it's
component parts of hydrogen and oxygen.  Further, although I usually wash
dishes after returning to dock I often don't and I have never developed a
smell in the heater.

In hull 218 (I have owned for nine plus years) we have never had a smell.
One thing I insist on though is to run through the tanks.  Basically I go
through each tank about six times a year.

By the way, super heating water is a way of treating bacteria problems, and
isn't known for creating smells.

Sounds like the tanks involved need some chlorine treatment and a lot of
flushing.
