LIME SCALE REMOVAL

Lime scale accumulations on the heating elements is a normal condition, common to all immersion type elements. Factors which affect the amounts of this formation are:

1.Amount of hot water used. As the volume of the water heated increases, more scale results.

2.Water temperature. As the temperature of the water is increased, more scale is deposited on the elements.

3.Characteristics of water supply.

Regardless of water treatment, the elements should be examined regularly.

Lime scale accumulations may cause noises to occur during operation.

It is recommended that a heating element be removed periodically for examination. If it is scaled, all of the elements should be removed and cleaned. If the tank bottom has an accumulation of sediment it should be cleaned.

Lime scale should be removed by dissolving the accumulation in UN-LIME®delimer. Do not use muriatic or hydrochloric acid base deliming solutions to remove lime scale from the elements.

THE PROCESS FOR LIME SCALE REMOVAL IS AS FOLLOWS:

1.Turn off electrical disconnect switch.

2.Drain the heater following DRAINING instructions.

3.Open front panel.

4.Disconnect the element wiring. Try not to disturb the wiring unnecessarily and reconnection will be easier.

5.Unscrew each element.

6.Remove the elements and gaskets from the openings.

•Use a twisting, pulling action to remove elements scaled beyond the size of the tank openings.

•Brush loose scale from elements.

7.Lime scale removal:

•Place limed ends of heating elements into UN-LIME delimer and allow scale to dissolve. Do not permit delimer or water to contact heating element electrical terminals.

•Silicates, sulfates, and aluminates must be removed by scraping or other mechanical means. Lime scale dissolvents will not remove these types of scale which are occasionally encountered.

OTHER SCALE REMOVAL:

1.Flush cleaned ends of elements with water when deliming or cleaning is completed.

2.Remove sediment and scale from the tank bottom through the access provided by the element openings or drain valve opening.

•The cold water inlet valve and drain valve may be opened to aid the cleanout process.

3.Clean remaining gasket material from tank and element flanges.

Do not reuse original element gaskets.

4.Put new gaskets on each element and install into tank openings.

•Uniformly tighten element bolts. Torque to approximately 32 ft/lbs.

5.Attach element wires to connection points from which they were removed.

6.Follow FILLING instructions on page 15 to restore hot water service.

•Check for water leaks around elements and proper operation when heater is filled.

•Close the panel.
