I am hoping that someone on this forum can answer my question regarding our 2017 Solitude 310GK because lately, I have not had any success going through GD customer service. Several years ago, someone at GD customer service told me that I could siphon vinegar from a bottle directly into the hot water heater by setting the five valves on the Nautilus P1 in a certain way and then turning two of them to 45 degrees before starting the pump. It worked, just as they said it would. Regrettably, I didn't write down what they told me and now of course I can't remember the sequence.
If anyone else has used this method and is willing to share it with me, I will be extremely grateful!
If you're wondering why I want to do this, here's the reason. After draining the HW heater and replacing the anode with a plug, I siphoned 5 gallons of vinegar into the 12 gallon tank and then topped it off with 7 gallons of water. I turned on the heater and left it overnight. Next morning I turned off the heater, let it cool down for a few hours, relieved any pressure by turning on the hot water taps and also carefully opening the pressure release valve on the tank. When I removed the plug, you would have been amazed to see how much crud came out through the drain hole. A cursory examination of the interior of the tank revealed what appeared to be an almost pristine, like-new, shiny stainless steel interior!
Appreciate any help!
