TUBE CLEANING PROCEDURE
Establish a regular inspection schedule, the frequency
depending on the local water conditions and the severity of
service. Do not let the tubes clog up solidly. Clean out
deposits over 1/16" in thickness.
NOTE: Please remove heat exchanger from heater
prior to reaming or removing debris.
After reaming, mount the wire brush in place of the auger
and clean out debris remaining in the tubes.
Another method is to remove the heat exchanger, ream
tubes and immerse heat exchanger in non-inhibited de-scale
solvent for severe scale build-up.
DESOOTING PROCEDURE
CAUTION
SOOT MAY BE COMBUSTIBLE. WET SOOTED SURFACES
COMPLETELY PRIOR TO CLEANING. DO NOT USE STEEL
WIRE BRUSH.
Soot will clog areas between fins and cause eventu-
al tube failure. Any sign of soot at the base of the burners or
around the outer jacket indicates a need for cleaning.
1. Remove top and flue collector from cabinet.
2. Remove "V" baffles from heat exchanger, including side
baffles.
3. Remove burner tray.
4. Remove heat exchanger from the heater and wash with a
garden hose, making sure soot is removed from spaces
between fins.
5. Reverse above procedure to reinstall.
NOTE: In extreme cases it may be necessary to do
high-pressure cleaning at a local car wash. DO NOT
WIRE BRUSH.
