What are the methods to remove scale from water heaters

Hot water is something we use every day in our daily life. When boiling water, we will find that a thick layer of white scale will slowly form on the kettle. This is a substance formed when boiling water, and it is also something that is not good for our body. After the scale forms, we will find that ordinary methods are particularly difficult to remove. Let’s take a look at what are the methods to remove scale from water heaters?

1. Use potato peels to remove scale

Put potato peels in it, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes to remove the scale from the electric kettle.

2. Descaling with bleach

You can go to the supermarket and buy some bleach, put in 2-3 teaspoons of bleach, add a small amount of water and rinse once or twice, it will be very clean.

3. Magnetization

Putting a magnet in the kettle not only prevents scale accumulation, but also magnetizes the boiled water, which also has the effect of preventing and treating constipation and pharyngitis.

4. Boil eggs to remove scale

Generally, electric kettles will accumulate hard and difficult-to-remove scale after being used for a long time. If you use it to boil eggs twice, you will get the desired effect. Crush two egg shells slightly, put them in a bottle, then fill half a pot of water, stir with a blender or spoon, then boil it, let it sit for about half an hour, pour out the egg shells, and rinse it twice with clean water.

5. Use vinegar to remove scale

This method is the simplest and most practical method. As we all know, the main component of scale is carbonate such as calcium carbonate. The acetic acid in vinegar will react with it to produce water-soluble minerals and carbon dioxide gas. White vinegar can be bought in general supermarkets. Put 10% of white vinegar into the kettle scale, then fill it with water, boil it and let it sit for about an hour, then brush it. Aged vinegar can also be used, but the effect of aged vinegar is not as good as white vinegar.

Through the above introduction, we now know what methods are available to remove scale from water heaters. When there is scale in the kettle, we must pay attention to using the correct method. The correct method can effectively remove scale and is also relatively clean. This is also some common sense in life that we need to pay attention to.
