Hi Folks,
A somewhat recent post discussed using a wand to blast out the calcium deposits in the hot water heater tank. It works! As a do it my- selfer, went to ACE hardware and purchased 3/8" copper tubing about 18 inches long, valve, and fittings including a female garden hose fitting for about $25. Bent the 3/8" copper tubing at 100 deg on the end so I could slide it across the tank bottom. Calcium deposits up to a dime in size and a nickel thickness came out. Took about 10 minutes of blasting and tank emptying between blastings.

I used to use one of those on my fifth wheels. I used 1/4" tubing and flattened the end somewhat before bending. It really blasts the deposits from the bottom of the tank.

Sounds like a top notch unit. I use a plastic one, prebuilt for perhaps $5-$8 (from Camping World).
