Follow these tips of Matt Risinger of Risinger Build to ensure the tankless heater you purchased lasts for years.

Maintenance of tanks-less water heaters is similar regardless of whether the unit is placed indoors or outside. The first thing to do is make sure your unit includes isolation valves. If they don’t, they will need to be installed by a plumber. They help with maitence.

A submersible pump of 6 horsepower as well as washer hoses will be required. The power source of the water heater as well as gas, and water must be shut off. Connect the washer hoses to those bolts underneath the isolation valves. The isolation valves should be turned on. Water might come out of the pipe. Attach the other end of one hose to an outlet on the pump. Put one gallon descaling agent in the bucket. Then, place the pump inside the bucket.

The pump should continue to run for approximately 45 minutes. The water heater is clean. The water is now on. Add water to the washer hose , then fill the bucket with water for cleaning the pump. To wash out the vinegar then run the pump for about 15 minutes. Take everything apart and then turn on the gas and power of your heater back on. Every year, do this. c41vsiitfa.
