3. Characteristics of water supply.
Regardless of water treatment, the elements should be
examined regularly.
Lime scale accumulations may cause noises to occur during
operation.
It is recommended that a heating element be removed periodically
for examination. If it is scaled, all of the elements should be removed
and cleaned. If the tank bottom has an accumulation of sediment it
should be cleaned.
Lime scale should be removed by dissolving the accumulation in
UN-LIME
®
delimer. Do not use muriatic or hydrochloric acid base
deliming solutions to remove lime scale from the elements.
