What it delivers
The Hercules 35230 Tankless Descaling Solution is a descaling solution for tankless water heaters.
It's the liquid side of a flush: mix it as the label says and circulate it through the heater with a flush pump.
Makers differ here. Rinnai's procedures use white vinegar and say never to use chemical solutions; follow your own heater's manual.
Listed details: features: Concentrated; material: Liquid; model: 35230; solution: Citric acid.
