Bob,

Atwood, the current manufacturer of the post '68 Bowen style water heater
recommends an annual blowout of the water heater. Their method involves
attaching an air fitting to the city water inlet, applying clean 40-50 PSI air
and blowing the water of the heater. They say the scavenging action of the air
bubbles will clear the calcium buildup. We do that as part of our winterizing.
