Establish a regular inspection schedule, the frequency
depending on the local water condition and severity of
service. Do not let the tubes clog up solidly. Clean out
deposits over 1/16" in thickness.
The heater may be cleaned from the side opposite the
water connections as shown, without breaking pipe
connections. It is preferable, however, to remove both
headers for better visibility through the tubes and to be
sure the residue does not get into the system. Note
that you do not remove the top pan or the heat
exchanger generally. After reaming with the auger,
mount the wire brush and clean out the debris remain-
ing in the tubes. Another method is to remove the heat
exchanger, ream tubes and immerse heat exchanger
in noninhibited de-scale solvent.
