If you're constantly adding water that has free available chlorine that is essentially keeping a tank sterile
The folks that have issues are the ones with stagnat water in the tanks which are exposed to the atmosphere via the vent
And of course non treated well water
Almost every water source has organic material which is measured by performing a test with results reported as TOC or total organic carbon
That is what becomes food for the microbes
