1. What is corrosion of hot water heater tanks? And what are the hazards of scale corrosion?

Scale is caused by impurities in water mainly calcium and chloride ions. When the water temperature rises, they will crystallize and adhere to the inner wall of the water heater tank, forming scale over time. Since the water quality in many places is generally hard, it is easy for water heater tanks to produce scale after long-term running. If it is not cleaned in time, it will damage the performance and service-life of the water heater tank. Severe scale will cause crevice corrosion on the welding points of the water heater tank, corrode the inner tank material, and cause the water tank to leak. That is corrosion problem.

Moreover, scale contains a large number of bacteria and microorganisms, which will enter the human body with the water flow and may cause skin itching, allergies, inflammation and other problems, which is harmful to human health.

2. How can we clean scale in hot water heater tanks?

• Ask a professional cleaning company to clean it.
• Use vinegar or lemon juice to clean it.
• Use a professional descaling agent to clean it.
