What it delivers
The Chromex DHX1-1056 Tankless Descaling Solution is a descaling solution for tankless water heaters; its listing says it fits most other PVC, rubber, ABS, metal plumbing surfaces apart from magnesium and alumin.
Descaler goes in the flush bucket in place of (or with) vinegar and is circulated through the heat exchanger by a flush pump.
Check your heater's manual before using a chemical descaler: Rinnai's consumer guide calls for undiluted white vinegar and warns against chemical solutions in its heaters.
From the listing: model: DHX1-1056; solution: biodegradable.
The listing gives a weight of 2.1 lb.
