To prevent scale from forming in the column, do not be lazy to turn it off and on as needed, if you do not want to, use an electric flow heater or a double-circuit boiler designed to produce hot water. And it is not true that boilers heat water worse, personally, I have the most ordinary, cheap double-circuit boiler "Zhitomir" provides hot water to two bathrooms and a shower without problems.

Do not rework the automatic flow heater if you have a weak pressure, it is better to install a booster pump, there are a lot of them now, you can always choose the one that suits you.

When turning on the gas water heater, adjust the rich people data flow according to temperature, boiling water is not needed, tell me, why dilute hot water with cold water, if we now pay the same for both.

When it is necessary to flush the coil (heat exchanger) of a gas water heater.


Well, now, if we have already had trouble, let's start cleaning the heat exchanger. And you can understand that the heat exchanger of the gas water heater is clogged by the following symptoms:

— low pressure in the hot water tap with good pressure in the cold water tap, while the water heater either does not turn on at all, or turns on and then immediately turns off.

Of course, the tap at the entrance to the water heater may also break, so first check it and only then disassemble the gas water heater.

Once you have made sure that the tap is in good working order, you can begin disassembling the water heater.
