How to remove scale from electric water heater

We use electric water heaters at home almost every day, but many people know that if the electric water heater is used for a long time, the dirt hidden in it will affect its service life. Therefore, it is still necessary to pay attention to and understand the effective methods of removing dirt from the water heater. I hope that the methods and steps introduced below can help everyone clean the scale of the electric water heater.

The most thorough cleaning method is to remove the heating tube and soak it in vinegar. Then clean it with a long brush and finally pour out the scale from the heating tube. Generally, electric water heaters are designed with drain outlets, but the scale accumulated over the years is not easy to discharge, so it is recommended that you use this method. In addition, it is best not to use descaling agents, because descaling agents will corrode the inner tank and cause hidden dangers. After cleaning, replace the heating tube. Generally, the heating tube will form thick scale after a few years of use, which is very easy to cause damage or leakage after removal.

Using Water Heater Cleaners

Applicable methods:

1. Open the water inlet;

2. Mix the cleaning agent and water in a ratio of 1:10 (volume ratio) to make a cleaning solution and add it to the water storage tank; for stubborn scale, pour the original solution directly and soak for 5-15 minutes to easily disintegrate the scale.

3. Allow it to automatically heat cycle for 20-30 minutes and drain the cleaning fluid directly from the drain port;

4. Open the water inlet, fill it with water and then circulate it for two minutes;

5. After draining, it can be used normally.

After understanding the above method of cleaning electric water heaters, do you now have a more comprehensive understanding of this method? After all, electric water heaters are a kind of electrical appliance, and there are many issues that may need to be paid attention to when cleaning, so I hope everyone will be more careful in the cleaning work.
