6.9 Cleaning the storage vessel all models
Scale formation in the base of the vessel may occur, particularly
in hard water areas and is normally associated with high usage
and high water temperatures. It is characterised by a rumbling
noise when the main burner is lit. Scale formation in the base of
the vessel will affect the efficiency of the water heater and
reduce the life of the storage vessel.
Any scale formation which cannot be removed by normal means
of cleaning should be removed by chemical descaling. See
below.
6.9.1 Descaling
When descaling the heater, attention is drawn to the following
guidelines.
1. Turn gas control to OFF and isolate gas supply.
2. Close water inlet valve and drain heater tank.
3. Remove magnesium anode(s). It is recommended that new
anode(s) is(are) fitted.
4. Add suitable hydrochloric acid based descale fluid. The
requirement is normally 5 litres for Standard Models and 10
litres for HIflo Models, or more dependant on amount of
limescale present.
5. After a minimum of one hour, restore gas supply and turn on
main gas burner for 2 minutes maximum.
6. Isolate gas supply and drain descale fluid through drain port.
7. Open cold water feed valve and fill heater tank.
8. Drain and flush out heater for 20 minutes minimum.
9. Replace anode(s).
10. Restore gas supply and re-light heater.
Note
The storage vessel should be checked and cleaned
annually.
Note
Remove Correx
TM
anode(s) if fitted and plug off the
connections using 3/4” BSP plugs. (Hi- Flo models only).
Re-fit the Correx
TM
anode(s) when the descaling
operation is complete.
Caution
Due to the corrosive nature of descaling fluid, it is
essential that suitable protective clothing is used and
adequate ventilation available.
Note
It should be noted that the failure of the storage
vessel due to scale formation on the base will not be
covered by the terms of the warranty.
