Flushing water heater
When I drained the water from the RV last year, I noticed some soft white sediment on the pipe plug for the water heater drain. I said to myself, "I should flush the water heater next time I drain it." Then, of course, I stopped thinking about it, "next time" being in the future.
The time has come; we're expecting a cold snap next week, so I want to drain the fresh water, blow out lines, etc.
Is it adequate to turn on the water pump and use that to flush out sediment? Looking the topic up on Google offers all kinds of possibilities, but I trust this group's knowledge base more than I trust random internet pages.
