What is the best des caller product you have used?

[dealtimeman]

Why that product?

What process do you use to descale? How long, what do you look for?

Hydramaster's clear water rinse. It smells the best and does a great job. I let it flow for about 30 minutes or so.

Prochem brand. Use as directed.
Pull your inlet hose off the h2o tank and let it pull from bucket.

Drop open end hose from outlet from front panel in bucket.

That will circle the TM system

I prefer a liquid descaler and have used a number of them (they are very similar)

I have been using Harvard Industries Descaler due to it's availability to me. http://www.hcronline.com/index.html

Descaling each truckmount seems a bit different for each brand and I actually do it differently than in this tech sheet.

I follow Butlers instructions for our units and do circulate a bit as well through the system.

Mark,

How often does Butler say to run before you descale?

Do you just look for scale or a loss of heat/flow?

Would have to look at the manual as to how they word it, but it is pretty general depending on water hardness in your area.

We descale about once a month, but just down the road about 60 miles my brothers have way better water and don't have to descale very often.

I plugged up here a couple years ago, and find that the higher heat units build up more scale quicker, so actually it is the end of the month and we will descale soon.

It is also time for us to dump all fluids in the cat pump and blowers. We do it way earlier than recommended....just what we do.

Prochem Descaler used as directed and I actually run for 30 minutes. Simply fill up your water box halfway, pour in descaler, run a fill line from solution inlet to water box to recirculate, do that for 30 minutes.

Then hook back up your freshwater line, rinse out and neutralize with a little liquid cleaner to neutralize the acid.
