  • What can you do to stop all that build up? Nothing?

  • @lennonpolo Get a water softener! They are brilliant at preventing it and break down deposits already there. Regards PP

  • Not letting the temp go over 65c helps to keep the scale down alot.

  • how old is that tank do you think?

  • I just ordered an entire new heting system over ere in the US. The plumber was telling me about this buildup in these tanks so I bought the indirect tank. Thanks for posting this so I can see for myself I made the right choice. BTW do you recycle all that copper?

  • WITH AN AXE lol

  • That's nothing compared to what I find in Malta ! You can build a house with the scale build up in water heaters!

  • Thats why you dont drink hot water out the tap.
