Flushing the Water Heater 

Flushing the Heat Exchanger is a complicated procedure that should only be performed by a qualified service 

technician.

NOTE: 

Improper maintenance WILL AVOID water heater warranty.

1. Disconnect electrical power to the water heater.

2.  Close the shut-off valves on both hot water outlet and cold water inlet lines. (V1 & V2)

3.  Connect one hose “D1” to the valve “V3” and place the free end in the bucket. Connect one of the hoses 

“D3” to the circulation pump outlet and the cold water inlet line at the valve “V4”. Connect other hose “D2” 

to the circulation pump inlet and place the free end in the bucket.

4. Pour the tankless water heater cleaning solution into the bucket. Ensure the cleaning solution is approved       

    for potable water systems.

     Place the drain hose (D1) and the hose (D2) to the pump inlet into the cleaning solution.

5.  Open service valves (V3 & V4) on the hot water outlet and cold water inlet lines.

6.  Turn on the circulation pump. Operate the pump and allow the cleaning solution to circulate through the 

water heater for at least 1 hour at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. This will remove any possible harmful scale 

deposits.

7. Rinse the cleaning solution from the water heater as follows:

    - Remove the free end of the drain hose (D1) from the bucket.

    -  Close service valve, (V4), and open shut-off valve, (V2). Do not open shut-off valve, (V1).

    -  Allow water to flow through the water heater for 5 minutes.

    -  Close shut-off valve (V2).

8. Disconnect all hoses.

9. Remove the cold water inlet filter from water heater and clean out any residues.

10. Reinsert the filter and ensure the filter cap is securely tightened.

11. Connect electrical power to the water heater.

12. Open hot water faucet. Run the water heater continuously for five minutes to ensure all cleaning solution 

is purged from the system. Check for leaks and ensure the water heater is operating properly.
