What Is Tankless Maintenance & Flush?
Tankless maintenance and flush is annual (or more frequent) descaling of the heat exchanger using a vinegar or approved solution to remove mineral scale. In Orange County, hard water at 15–25 grains accelerates scale buildup and can cause overheating, error codes, and failure. We also clean inlet filters and inspect the burner. Manufacturers often recommend annual service to keep the warranty valid.

Our Tankless Maintenance & Flush Process
System Isolation
We close the hot and cold isolation valves and connect circulation hoses to the service ports, creating a closed loop through the heat exchanger.
Descaling Circulation
A pump circulates food-grade white vinegar or commercial descaling solution through the unit for 45–60 minutes, dissolving calcium and lime deposits from the heat exchanger fins.
Flush & Rinse
The descaling solution is flushed out with clean water, the in-line filter screen is cleaned or replaced, and the service ports are capped and sealed.
Performance Check & Report
We restore normal operation, verify inlet/outlet temperature differential, check for error codes, and log the service date so you know when your next Orange County flush is due.
