What it delivers
The Stiebel Eltron 540002 Tankless Descaling Solution is a descaling solution for tankless water heaters.
It's the liquid side of a flush: mix it as the label says and circulate it through the heater with 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.
Listed details: features: Mineral Deposit Removal System; model: 540002; solution: Non-toxic.
