What it delivers
The Rectorseal 68711 Tankless Descaling Solution is a descaling solution for tankless water heaters.
Descaler goes in the flush bucket in place of (or with) vinegar and is circulated through the heat exchanger by a flush pump.
Check your heater's manual before using a chemical descaler: Rinnai's consumer guide calls for undiluted white vinegar and warns against chemical solutions in its heaters.
Also on the listing: features: Complete Cleaning System, Easy to Use; material: Plastic; model: 68711; solution: biodegradable.
The listing gives dimensions of 13.13 in (W) x 14.69 in (H) and a weight of 5.9 kg.
