Section 8: Plumbing System
plumbing bypass valves so no water or antifreeze will enter the water heater. Then winterize
your RV waterlines with antifreeze as normal. (Refer to Winterizing the Plumbing System)
NOTE: Using air pressure to blow out your Aqua Go water heater is
NOT recommended and may damage the appliance.
Decalcification:
Lime scale occurs as a result of precipitation from "hard" water. The appliance must
be decalcified regularly depending on water hardness and hot water consumption. The
decalcification process takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Appliance must be
flushed with clean water when finished. If decalcification is interrupted damage to the water
heater is possible. For safety reasons: once the process is started it must not be stopped
until the system has been rinsed. All operating modes of the appliance are blocked until
decalcification has been completed. When completed switch the water heater power OFF
then ON to return to normal operation.
BASIC MODEL: Decalcification must be done through your RV dealer for the Basic
model. Specialized equipment is required and cannot be easily done by the owner.
COMFORT & COMFORT PLUS MODELS:
Models with the interior rotary control dial have a "CLEAN" setting available. These
models also include a built in water consumption meter that will light the yellow LED on
the rotary dial when decalcification is required. The LED will go out briefly every 7 seconds
indicating decalcification is necessary.
