tem with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of
clean water. Re-flush as necessary. The vinegar solution may dam

age the water heater so it must be bypassed again before performing
this operation.

be driven around for a short while allowing the solution to splash the
sides and top of the fresh water tank.
