Hey O-B,
Hasn't anyone come up with a SuperDuty Tank Cleaner? Something friendly to aluminum but dissolves the scale and loosens any calification? I dunno....maybe vinegar would do it but there might be an aftertaste with that.
Yep...
Atwood has a step by step vinegar treatment in their manual.
Real good for dissolving/removing scale build up BUT time consuming
Drain tank thru drain plug...flush/rinse..then install drain plug
The remove PRV and using a funnel pour 4 gallons of vinegar into WH tank (2 to 1 ratio----6 gallon tank)
Reinstall PRV
Turn on water supply and fill WH
Turn WH ON to heat solution (do this 4 times...this is the time consuming part---have to wait for WH to cool/heat/cool/heat/cool and don't open any faucets during cycles)
After the 4 heating cycles...turn water supply off....open a faucet to relieve pressure
Drain WH tank via drain plug..then rinse/flush several times
Inside of tank and electric element will be clean as a whistle
