I'm cheap, and I did it about 10 years back. Drain, then take both elements out. It will breath in from the top, and you can snake the bottom vac hose around and get a lot of it from the bottom. After cleaning, my bottom element went out a few weeks later. I'm guessing due to something without the calcium down there, or maybe it was just time. If you have one of those small upholstery vac tools it works but is slow. The heater worked for another 8 years before I just replaced it this spring.
BTW, I bought a new kind of water heater with 'smart economy'. It has a history of when hot water is demanded, and adjusts the thermostat to decrease power use. From about 11PM to 5AM it shuts off to an idle temp around 88F, then it ramps up in the morning, and declines during the day unless flow is detected. Pretty neat so far, but time will tell if it hold up. AO Smith unit.
