Descaling
The descaling procedure must be performed by trained personnel as it
requires the removal of panels from the boiler and access to live
electrical components.
The boiler should be descaled regularly to maintain efficient operation and
water quality. The frequency depends on the hardness of the local water and
timely replacement of the filter.
The boiler is best descaled at the end of the working day to allow the
descaling agent several hours to work. Lincat recommends its own descaling
agent, available from Lincat spares department, part code MS19.

7 Replace the tank lid and outer lid, and attach an “Out of Use” notice to
the boiler to prevent use during descaling
