End Zone residue

[Doug Rice]

What would I use to clean out the white buildup that I think comes from EndZone in my heat exchanger? I am having trouble getting enough heat from my CDS. I descaled my truck with Esteam truck mount descaler a couple of days ago and might do it again in a couple of days. I was looking inside of my old HX (Hydramaster) and there is a pretty good buildup of the white stuff. My much older HX that came off a few years back before I started using EndZone as much didn't have the buildup. Any ideas?

Unless your CDS is very old, your last step injection should prevent any chemical build up in your heat exchanger.

Are you sure that what you are seeing isn't hard water deposits?

Vinegar is cheap run it thru your lines and xchangers.

 

[GeneMiller]

Jimmys so right. Run a little vinegar every time you change your oil. The white stuff is probably the hard water built up.

Wouldn't it get too hot with the HE plugged up like that?

the mineral acts like an insulator keeping the plumbing from getting hot.

I suggest the descaler by prochem, the powdered stuff. works well, I have Pembertons do mine when im down, but usually it takes around 15 min to descale my machines. and even with doing them every 6 months and using soft water i still get some mineral build up, but heat always seems better after descaling.
