How to Descale a Tankless Water Heater Simply and Efficiently!

Tankless water heaters are a technological marvel! A far cry from the traditional tank-type water heater, these wonderful devices render running out of hot water during a soothing bath or shower nothing more than a bad memory! However, as with all precise and high-tech devices, some TLC by means of routine maintenance will be necessary to keep your hot water running for years to come.

For tankless water heaters, Public Enemy No. 1 comes in the form of SCALE, which is the rock-like residue left behind on surfaces they're subject to a water supply that is overly-packed with calcium and magnesium minerals…otherwise known as HARD water. The accumulation of scale inside your tankless water heater can lead to inefficient operation, or even worse: No hot water at all!

Thankfully, there's an INEXPENSIVE and SIMPLE way to remove scale from the internals of your tankless water heater to help keep it humming along for years to come…all you need are a few items and well, this step-by-step video, of course!

Here's what you're gonna need:

-Submersible pump with a 3/4" male HOSE thread outlet. The one I used can be found here:

-Two 5-foot (1.5 meter) washing machine hoses with female ends.
-One to two gallons of household white vinegar
