Chemical de-scales

If your boiler is in need of de-scaling, we offer acid washes.

This is a two-day process that involves circulating the vessel with acid on day 1 and it’s then left overnight. On day 2 more circulation, checks will be made to ensure the acid has done its job, depending on what kind of scale you have, nearly 9 out of 10 times you are left with a pristine boiler shell.

Common Contributing factors to scale build up:

• In sufficient Water treatment
• No salt in the brine tank
• Incorrect blow down procedures (i.e., not blowing down at all)
• Hard water (area you live in)

Your insurance inspector will check for scale on his inspection. If failed, he will ask you to give it an acid clean.

What will happen

Scale build up on internal pressure side of your boiler can cause adverse problems to the vessel
Cracks can be caused on the boiler shell as a direct result of scale build up.
1mm of scale depreciates your boilers efficiency by 10%
