888 Descale

888 Descale

888 DESCALE is a scientific liquid descaler specifically designed to dissolve all water scale, lime, rust and other water formed deposits which are found in any type of water operated heat transfer equipment or cooling systems.

Each gallon of 888 DESCALE will effectively dissolve approximately two pounds of deposit, restoring operating efficiencies to equipment and heat transfer surfaces. Other benefits include lower head pressures, reduced power consumption, increased water flow, and extended equipment life.

Most 888 DESCALE cleaning may be accomplished within an average of two to four hours of circulation time. Some systems may be cleaned while in operation without the need for shutdown. There is no need to neutralize after cleaning; simply flush dissolved deposits with water and return unit to service.

Boilers, Condensers And Heat Exchangers:

Thoroughly flush entire system to remove all loose deposits. Connect circulation pump to lower inlet piping and return to circulation bucket from top of unit. Circulate the suggested 888 DESCALE concentration for two to four hours depending on foaming action of discharge. When foaming stops determine 888 DESCALE strength by activity on clean concrete. If the solution still foams, equipment should be clean. If there is no foaming action evident, the used material has dissolved its capacity and more fresh 888 DESCALE may be added for additional circulation until completely clean. Drain and flush entire system directly to sewer with clean water and refill.

Suggested 888 Descaler cleaning concentrations:

Boilers – One gallon per boiler horsepower
Condensers and Towers – One gallon per every two tons of cooling capacity
Heat Exchangers – 50-50 water to 888 DESCALE dilution per unit volume
