Great, thorough instructions. Thank you for the important detail about keeping the unit ON considering everyone else says to turn it off. This is YouTube is all about!!

Amazingly wonderful instructions. I just completed this task today and am really really thankful to you for all the small details. God bless.

You're the only one I found that said to leave the unit powered on. I just had a class on Noritz and they said power needs to stay on and just gas off so that the bypass valve in the unit opens up so you flush the complete system.

Very helpful. Thank you.
How about running CLR through the flushing process, then clean water afterwards to flush out the CLR?

As I mentioned in the video, I don't recommend CLR because it isn't food grade. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have excellent water quality and therefore distilled white vinegar is fine for the task. If you live in an area where water quality is poor, then you may want to use that product. If I were to use CLR, I would make sure and flush the water heater for at least 5 minutes after the descaling is completed and BEFORE you put the heater back in service.
