Thanks for the video. I have done this procedure a couple of times and learned a couple of tips like the color changing. Some guides recommend running the flush backwards before flushing as well. Is there a problem with doing this? Solution through cold out hot first and then in hot and out cold and then flush out hot like normal.
Hello, thank you for reaching out! There shouldn't be any issue flushing in the other direction. if the color does not change then all the scale should be removed.
Does it matter which side of the boiler you pump the solution into? I'm assuming it can go either way? in this video you plugged the output of the pump into the cold water side of the heater.
I bought product and didn't know how long to run it for until after I saw this video. I ran it for over an hour. Is that bad? I used to run vinegar that long so figured. Now I'm worried it was running too long. Can you please advise if it will affect my system ? I did notice the metal hose connection in bucket got really ugly
Hi, thank you for your question! If I am understanding you correctly then it's important to know the solution will change color (a yellowish or brownish color) when more descaler is needed. Also, the brass fitting has a metal protectant in it and should cause no issues over that time frame, however, we do recommend 10 minutes as the cleaning time as the instructions state. We also recommend users always dilute the descaler solution and stop cycling if the liquid stays red. Once there no color change is occurring then the system is clean of any scale, lime, rust, and other water-formed deposits. At that time, give it a final flush with water and return the unit to service. Also, if you need any walk-through assistance feel free to reach out to us directly as well at info@qwik.com or call (321) 631-3550
There is no harm to your unit for running the descaler through your unit for an hour. I descale for 30 mins, empty the bucket, refill with fresh water, and run a half-diluted solution for another half hour. This works perfectly.

You're correct! It can be flushed either way.
You need to speak into a microphone for better and clear listening
Would i be able to flush out my whole system, like thoug my sinks and showers, or is this just for water heaters?
We only recommend this kit primarily for tankless water heaters

He lost me at “HOT” water heater!
It’s just a “Water Heater” . . . if the water was already hot, we wouldn’t need a water heater! 😂
