If you have a tankless water heater or are currently shopping around for one, I’m sure you’re aware that most tankless water heater manufacturers require you to have some type of water treatment in order to keep your warranty valid. What you might not know is that some of our authorized dealers will extend the manufacturer’s warranty on tankless water heaters when you install the EasyWater No-Salt Conditioner alongside it! The EasyWater No-Salt Conditioner is the perfect companion to your tankless water heater because it will do a great job of protecting it from the scale buildup which will very quickly reduce its efficiency. It’s best to install the EasyWater No-Salt Conditioner either before you install your tankless heater or at the same time, but you can certainly install the EasyWater No-Salt Conditioner to protect your existing tankless water heater.

For those of you who already have a tankless water heater, you’ll see the best results when you hire a licensed plumbing contractor to perform a little bit of maintenance on your tankless heater prior to installing the EasyWater No-Salt Conditioner. Most manufacturers of tankless heaters will recommend performing a vinegar flush in order to remove scale, and this process typically involves circulating vinegar through the heating coil of your water heater for about 45 minutes. This will help a little, but vinegar is a mild acid and after a few minutes of reacting with the scale in your water heater it will be neutralized. Instead, we recommend having the plumber perform a vinegar flush with at least 10-15 or more gallons of vinegar, depending on the amount of existing scale, using just a few gallons at a time. The plumber will allow it to cycle for about 5 minutes with each batch of vinegar, or until they see no more reaction with the scale. The used vineger should then be drained, and the process started over with a new batch. When a new batch of vinegar is started and there is no reaction, the cleaning is complete.

In most cases the EasyWater No-Salt Conditioner will remove the existing scale buildup over time. However, because of the constant heating and cooling of the coil everytime the heater turns on and off, the coil expands and contracts, which can cause scale to pop off in little pieces as we are removing it. For this reason, you will see the best results when you start off with a completely clean coil.
