Well I gave the heat exchanger a good flushing today with a drill pump and a couple of washing machine hoses. I used a gallon of clr. Wow amazing how much crap that stuff will remove... Did each side of the plate exchanger 2 or 3times...nasty ... Thanks big wood for the suggestion on using the drill pump very easy job..

When I flushed my Hx this spring I too was surprised by amount the junk that came out of it. My biggest surprised was the amount of junk that came out of the pressurized side in the house. I guess it confirms that I'm doing something right regarding the water treatment I'm using. The non-pressurized side (OWB side) was nice and clean. Roger

Do you have 1" inputs on your plate exchanger? I was wondering how you plumbed that to make it work with a drill pump...pics?
Also, off of this topic, the formatting of the forum is really weird...is anyone else seeing this?

Yes mine is messed up to thought t was just me!

Inlet and outlet on both sides of the plate exchanger have shut offs with garden hose fittings along with isolation valves on all four so I can completely separate the exchanger from the system to service it or even remove it if it need be.

It was worth the initial investment wasn't it Randy?

I wonder if it is browser-related? Using Chrome here, may try something else and see if it helps.

I have to admit I can't take the credit for the plumbing on my system slim Jim did it. The guy is a true craftsman anyone who has one of his installs will agree. Thank you again slim for convincing me to spend a little extra it sure is worth it now three years later..

It's not quite as bad but I am seeing most of the same issues using Internet Explorer.
