Ideal for cleaning and descaling water heaters

I bought this small water heater descaling pump and it works great. According to a video made of a plumber cleaning and descaling a Navien water heater, it's best to use a smaller pump with a slower flow rate. The video I was watching used a 1/6 HP pump. at 950 gallons per hour, so that's a little more. I used 2 to 3 gallons of white vinegar and started the pump with no problems. The only thing I do complain about is the plastic hose adapter which is difficult to attach the hose to. It looks like the threads are wrong and it took a few tries to get my hose connected to the pump properly. If I survived that, no problem. If you use the pump in vinegar, I recommend rinsing it well with fresh water before storing.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • So-so
