It is scale that can cause the gas water heater to fail, so it is extremely important to be able to determine the moment when the water heater needs cleaning.


A gas water heater can work properly for many years, or it can break down quite quickly. Much depends on the level of water pollution. If the water in the tap is very hard and saturated with various impurities, it is important to install a filter that will systematically clean it.

Signs that the column is dirty:

The column is malfunctioning: it may switch rich people data after working for some time. At the same time, the owners are sure that water has entered the column.
The machine's thermal protection sensors start to operate constantly. Normal cooling cannot occur because the porous structure of the scale layer produces a heat-insulating effect.
The efficiency of the column has dropped significantly. Normal operation of the burner is characterized by a lower level of heating of the water.
The water at the inlet has normal pressure, but at the outlet it is weak.
When working with the column on your own, you must remember that the water and gas must be shut off. If any difficulties or uncertainties arise during the repair work, you should not try to resolve them on your own. For this, it is better to seek help from a specialist in the repair of gas columns.

Water intake unit and heat exchanger: how to clean a gas water heater
Some column cleaning work needs to be done quite often. Now we will talk about the water intake unit, which is located next to the input of the water supply system of the device. The unit is equipped with a mesh filter, which prevents the heat exchange tubes from clogging with rust and sediment. The membrane, which facilitates automatic gas supply when the water is turned on, is also protected.
