Blocked mega flow

[E4gas]

It had a little bit off scale in it

 

[Chalked]

That's impressive.
Were they using the immersion, or boiler to heat it? ( or both and didn't realise!)

 

[bigads28]

That's mental, I didn't realise scale could be so bad!!

Boiler to heat , too me 6 hours , nightmare
immersion was buried tight in

 

[E4gas]

Nice and clean , still bits stuck on coil , unable to budge as mega flow immersions are small

 

[E4gas]

Still getting this out off hot tap , not sure how long it will take till it settle

Wow that's crazy, did a good job cleaning it up that good.
selling them a water softener now?

 

[Ermintrude]

It will take a few days to settle I think. The baffle will be covered too?

Never see that in Yorkshire thank god lol, we have proper water.

[E4gas]

They moved in 10 years ago , There was a water softener there when they moved in , but never new if it worked , I found it on the bye pass mode

Nowt worse than having a cup of tea made with hard water.

 

[gasmanrob]

Tea in hard water is the best kind! Refreshing brew and also providing me a dose of minerals. To you northerners that's like gravy containing multi vitamins

 

[Ray Stafford]

containing multi vitamins

You may have to explain vitamins to the northern types Rob!

I was going to say gravy containing your 5 a day, but I'd end up with the same problem

 

[julesverne]

You southerners know nothing. Every one knows gravy contains more vitamin c than a lemon

 

[chris watkins]

Never mind the tea, everyone knows the best beer in the world is brewed using hard water!!:8:

Fact!

 

[craigy]

Jesus Christ that's the worst I've seen. Agree with josh good job cleaning it. Last time I did one the water took a week to settle btw. Flushed it a few times hot and cold first too.
You could use that photo to promote fitting scale reducers for sure.

Looks more like the cylinders been filled with softner crystals.
Good job

 

[MOSSEP]

what did you use to clean it out?

 

[Chalked]

Never see that in Yorkshire thank god lol, we have proper water.

I removed a large cylinder in North Yorkshire 20 years ago ( boroughbridge) the cylinder was 6ft tall & 3ft wide.
had to cut the cylinder open to move it and got 3 wheelbarrows full of lime scale!

 

[E4gas]

what did you use to clean it out?

A piece of 32 plastic pipe
wet & dry Hoover with 22mm poly pushed in nozzle , plus using sower hose with extension pipe to flush out , scale ,

it was like doing liposuckion a fat bird ( or bloke )
