idea for cleaning the plumbing August 4 2006, 1:52 AM

Rick,

You mentioned frequently cleaning the plumbing which we do at least monthly. On my newer machine it does flow slower than my older unit. Is it possible to run an acid (like the one used in truck mount de-scalers) thru the Cimex? It does not seem to work very well flushing out the system with water only to create better flow.

Just for the record these machines kick butt. You provide outstanding service and it’s always a pleasure to do business with you and your staff.

Dan,

I haven't heard of anyone doing this. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you decide to try it can you post back here and let us know how it works? Thanks.

Dan, how i have been doing it is filling my empty sol tank with fresh water then dropping my bucket heater into it and letting it sit for a good half hour. the water starts to steam of course and small bubbles start rising. i do this when i am on the job. when it's bubbling (and after i have pre-vac'ed), i pour in my EncapClean and clean as normal. i figure the near boiling water cleans out the plumbing better than anything else i could do.

just a guess --- Derek.

We have used descaler through our machines a few times with no apparent problems.
