Descaling Bosch Gas Tankless Water Heaters


All of the Bosch gas tankless water heaters both in natural gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP) should be descaled now and then on a periodic basis depending on the quality of the water in your area.  Some towns have low mineral content while others are very hard.  Scale is basically mineral deposits in the water that pass through the copper tubing of the heat exchanger and after heating up they stick to the insides of the copper piping and over long periods of time will restrict the flow of water through the heat exchanger causing issues and overheating. 

Global Pro Tankless Supply sells a Flow-Aide Descaling Kit that allows the user to flush the Bosch tankless water heater with not much work involved and eliminates the scale built up in the heater.

  • The Flow-Aide Descaler Kit comes with everything you need to quickly dissolve water scale, lime, rust, and other water formed deposits, restoring efficiency to all Bosch gas tankless water heaters.  This descaling kit will also work for all other gas tankless water heaters, boilers, etc.

  • Flow Aide System Descaler is a non-toxic concentrate which is certified to NSF/ANSI 60 for use as a cleaner in potable water systems. Flow-Aide is the perfect descaling solution to keep your Tankless Water Heater in good operation. Combining Flow-Aide with one of our Isolation Valve Kits (Service Valves) will make the descaling process quick and easy!

    Flow-Aide is: Non-Corrosive, Non-Toxic, Fully Biodegradable*, Safe to Handle, Zero V.O.C.

    IMPROVE EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCY: Water scale deposits are a significant cause of heat transfer loss, along with the subsequent increase in energy costs. In fact, even a thin layer of scale (1/32") can cause a 30% increase in the cost to operate that piece of equipment. Keeping the heating passages free of mineral deposits significantly improves efficiency, conserves energy, extends the useful life of the equipment, and saves you time & money.

    The Flow-Aide Descaling Kit includes the following:

    1 - 3.5 Gallon Bucket
    1 - 350 GPH Pump
    2 - 5 Foot Rubber Hoses
    1 - Quart Flow-Aide

    There is also the Flow-Aide Descaling Kit PLUS which includes the Isolation Valve Kit (Service Valves).  We also sell additional quarts and gallons of the Flow-Aide Solution.

    Descaling Powerstream Pro RP17PT & RP27PT

    The Bosch Pro electric tankless water heaters, Powerstream Pro models RP17PT and RP27PT are high kilowatt electric tankless heaters that heat water on demand as the water passes through them. The modules inside consist of coiled elements that heat the water. The heating elements produce extreme heat inside the modules to heat the water on demand.

    The heat that is produced by the heating elements in the modules sometimes counteracts with the mineral deposits in the water. If there is a high mineral content due to a hard water area then these mineral deposits known as "scale deposits" will over time attach themselves to the heating coils inside the modules.

    All Bosch Powerstream Pro electric tankless water heaters should never be descaled with any type of solution such as vinegar, muriatic acid, etc. The use of descalants flushed through the heater does not have much effect on the mineral deposits attached to the elements. Another point of trying to flush descalant through an electric tankless heater is that it will loosen some of the mineral deposits in the heater and will have a damaging effect on the flow transducer and other parts inside the tankless heater that detects the flow of water and will interrupt the signal to the circuit board itself.

    The best protection against mineral deposits (scale) forming on the coils in the electric tankless heater is to check the quality of the water in your area before installing and if the water has a high mineral content then it is recommended to install a water softener or scale stopper system. The water softener or scale stopper will filter out almost all of the minerals and treat the water so the electric tankless water heater will have a longer life with less minerals building up inside.
