About this video:
Is your RV water pressure dropping or your hot water surging? It could be scale buildup. In this video, I’m walking you through my 90-day maintenance routine. While manufacturers say bleach is okay, I’ll explain why I choose vinegar to protect the delicate copper coils in my Gerard on-demand system.
In This Video:
- The Bleach Warning: Why I bypass the heater when sanitizing.
- Full System Descale: Step-by-step using the winterization valve.
- The Bucket Method: How to deep-clean just the water heater with a pump.
- Troubleshooting: Checking the flow meter and the "hidden" fuse.
Parts for the "Bucket Method":
- 🌊 Submersible Pump: amzn.to/4uqVyNf
- 🪣 Bucket: amzn.to/40uqY7B
- 🧪 Vinegar: amzn.to/4brUUGx
- 💎 Clear Hose: amzn.to/3OYAhub
