Over time, minerals in campground water can build up in RV water heater tanks, so we need to clean it as part of routine maintenance. I usually do this once a year, typically before the camping season starts, but it's flexible based on personal preference.

To descale my tanked water heater, I follow these steps: First, I cool and empty the tank, turning off power and letting it cool down. Then I set it to bypass mode and relieve any pressure. Depending on the type of water heater, I either remove the drain cover or anode rod to empty the tank completely and use a water heater flush wand to remove loose buildup.

Next, I connect a threaded adapter and a garden hose with a shut-off valve, and fill the tank with food-grade vinegar or a 50/50 vinegar-water solution. The amount of vinegar depends on the buildup in the tank. After filling, I let the solution sit in the tank for several hours or overnight, optionally turning on the water heater to speed up the process.

Finally, I drain the solution, flush the tank with fresh water, and check for any remaining buildup before reassembling the tank and refilling it. It's a simple but important maintenance task to keep my water heater functioning well.
