Decalcification of the fresh water fixtures can be done at any time and should be done
periodically when hard water has been used in the fresh water system.
WHAT IS HARD WATER?
All water contains dissolved minerals and nutrients, but some sources of water contain
more minerals than others. Water is considered hard when it contains high amounts
of calcium-carbonate and magnesium. These minerals – in particular – have a high
propensity to adhere to surfaces and form scale on surfaces the water comes into contact
with, such as pipes and fixtures. In fact, soap scum and scale buildup on bathroom
fixtures are how most people realize they have hard water in their home.
USING VINEGAR TO DECALCIFY THE FRESH WATER FIXTURES
1. Place 3 gallons of vinegar at the rear water inlet.
2. Connect a short piece of water hose, approximately 2 feet long to the inlet and in the
gallon jug of vinegar.

3. Bypass the water heater if it is not already set.
4. If water pump valves are not already in winterization mode then reconfigure valves
accordingly. See diagram on page 52.
5. Turn water pump on, open kitchen faucet cold line and let the pump pull the vinegar
into the system, run approximately 15-20 seconds and then open the hot water side
and allow to run for another 10-15 seconds.
6. Open the Bath faucet cold line and run approximately 15-20 seconds, then open the
hot side and run for 10-15 seconds.
7. Flush the toilet twice.
8. Turn off the water pump.
9. Flush the system with fresh water.
NOTE: In some cases you may have to use more than 3 gallons of vinegar to clean out
calcium buildup in the lines and at the fixtures. If this is the case then simply start over
with step number one with a new gallon of vinegar and continue until the system has
been completely decalcified.
