Clearing Water Heater Of Minerals
GREAT SITE! GREAT MEMBERS! Long time lurker, first time poster. I've searched but can't find -
I have read the following will dissolve lime and calcium;
CLR(tm)
Lime-a-way(tm)
Toilet bowl cleaner
vinegar
I'm willing to try all before shelling out $300+ for a new natural gas water heater.
So, what are the cons to using the above chemicals and products in an attempt to clear the mineral deposits in a gas water heater that may soon have to be replaced otherwise? :confused:
Just seems there should be some way, or they should make the heaters better serviceable.
Ooooo, had I known the previous owners hadn't properly maintained the heater... :mad:
Thanks for the advise.
