As full time RVers, we knew our new to us 2017 Grand Design Solitude 310 GK needs regular maintenance. And the water heater is definitely one of those musts. With all the other issues we have been fixing (DIYs and stuff breaking)- and the fun we have had- we let this one wait a bit too long. Plus, Larry always has to "reinvent the wheel." haha. But you know he tries to make life just a bit easier and save you some money.
In this video, you will see a tweak to the "tried and true" way to descale your water heater tank that is easy to do and inexpensive. This procedure will work with any Suburban RV Water Heater with a replaceable Anode. It can be done with any RV plumbing system, even though we have the Nautilus Water Management System, you can use this method with any Suburban RV Water Heater.

We are a married couple in our mid 50s who downsized and sold our house so we can see the sights and enjoy every day to live deliberately as full time RVers - traveling with our dogs, Scrappy & Chewie, in our Grand Design Solitude 310 GK fifth wheel.
