Title: flushing lines
Post by: d conover on July 31, 2013, 07:11:15 AM

I will have had my H4 running for a year in October.  And will probably need to clean the hot water lines in the boiler fairly soon.

Here in SE Mo we have a lot of lime build up.  On my H2 I would have to flush the lines once a year. We could really tell a big decrease in the volume of hot water.

I would hook up a pump and a tank and run diluted muratic acid through it until it started coming thru clear.  Not going to do that on my new furnace. I want something less harsh.
My brother in law over did it last year and ate through his copper coil in his furnace. He isn't using Muriatic acid any more either.
Any suggestions on something less harsh??

I don't know if vinegar will do the job.

How about something like CLR or Lime Away? Would those not work?
