I'm not sure if I should be posting this here or in equipment section but here goes......
Our van is fitted with a Truma water heater and I've read somewhere that the best maintenance this heater can recieve is being descaled by using white vinegar, now, my questions are
1) how do I get the white vinegar into the heater without wasting it in the cold water system?
2) What quantity should I be putting into it?
3) How long do I leave it in there, and should I add it when it's hot as though I was descaling a kettle or 1st then let it warm up, if so what temperature should I set the stat to and will it clean both the gas side and the electric side at the same time or do I need to switch on both?
4) How should I flush the system out after?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to ensure the best out of our van which has been stuck on the driveway since being purchased in NOvember and my family and I are climbing the walls waiting for descent weather for our 1st outing.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Mikey
