Descaling
If you use spring (mineral) water you will need to de-scale your hot water tank.
Heated spring (mineral) water will cause minerals to fall out. Eventually they will plug up your water-
ways, resulting in a gradual slowdown of the flow rate, leaking faucets, and other problems.
Descaling Solutions
Cooking vinegar is proven to remove calcium deposits efficiently.
Depending on the frequency of decalcification treatments, please use the following proportions of
White Vinegar.
- For descaling once every three months, use two cups (500 ml) of white vinegar with 2.5 liters of hot
water.
- For descaling once every six months, use a mixture of six cups (1500 ml) of white vinegar with two
liters of hot water.
- For descaling once every year, use 12 cups (3000 ml) of white vinegar and one liter of hot water.
- For descaling less frequently than once a year, use undiluted white vinegar.
