I assume you have hard water at home? If so give your home filter company a call and ask them about a portable system you could use. Either that or consider filling your water tank from home.
Anode rod is a sacrificial part that should be replaced each year or so. Not sure how anyone can remove calcium deposits from water lines? I suspect you got $530 dollars for replacing the anode rod ( 10 dollar part, five minutes labor) and fixing the door lock. It is time you learn to do repairs yourself or your going to continue paying 100 dollars an hour labor for piddly little things.
I hear you. I never dreamed they were going to rape me so badly for such a seemingly simple job. They had always seemed fair in the past.
The problem was I keep my unit in a storage yard without water. I live in a condo with no way to leave my unit near my front door.
I can park it on the street and bum a neighbors faucet, and I would have done that to service the hot water tank myself, but I had no idea how to flush out the clogged-up water lines. The manual didn't really give a good schematic on how the thing is plumbed.
They told me they needed to remove the water lines to clean them out. I'm assuming this is what ran the bill up.
