Just an update...
To those of you who said water heater .... Winner .. Winner!!!!
I got her out if storage the other day to get ready for Labor Day camping and was finally ready to check it out.
You learn something everyday. I would have never thought so much calcium would build up. There was about 1/4" or more of " junk" on the bottom of the tank. All loose and floating around just waiting to clog the lines. I just removed the anode rod and hooked up to the house water and just kept the water on for about 10 minutes until it was all cleaned out. The element had some calcium on it, but I was not in the mood to remove and clean.
Thanks all for your help.
