LEANING
ROCEDURE
Establish a regular inspection schedule, the frequency
depending on the local water conditions and the severity of
service. Do not let the tubes clog up solidly. Clean out
deposits over 1/16" in thickness.
NOTE: Please remove heat exchanger from heater
prior to reaming or removing debris.
After reaming, mount the wire brush in place of the auger
and clean out debris remaining in the tubes.
Another method is to remove the heat exchanger, ream
tubes and immerse heat exchanger in non-inhibited de-scale
solvent for severe scale build-up.
