2Year old house w/Rinnai R85 gas tankless water heater never flushed (never knew).
125Ft well - cold pressure super.. no whole house filter - only in-well sediment screen.
(Wait for it) recent onset low hot water pressure throughout. Open more than one tap at a time? Trickle Down!
White buildup on Moen showerhead - tried CLR & no joy. Had to start somewhere.
Cleaned all tap aerators and saw what looked like tiny bits of soft tan sawdust. No recent water line breach.
Tank splutters/gurgles when hot tap first opens - sounds like inlet is restricted?
Is this a tank flush situation? I see directions for flushing on this website and wonder how to tell which line to open. I have INLET and OUTLET pipes and each has a threaded access cap with upstream valve lever. I'm quite willing to have a go at flushing but need to convince hubby that we can really do it ourselves (He's ex. RAF Fitter) HMMM!
