scraper

[erickson1841]

I bought a scraper and it will not even touch the crap in my tubes.

tonight I plugged the hole and filled it with soapy water

try it tomorrow

If the mechanical action of the correct scraper is not effective

water and soap did not work, what is this lps2,lps3 that you are talking about, where do i get it, I have been using a round wire brush on my drill and it does a nice job for the most part, but where the build up is thick, it will not take it off,

I would not be trying so hard, but I know that it has a big affect on the heat out put.

let me know thanks

I have a scraper, but it does not take any of that crap off.

I thought that if I soaked it and then used my scraper and the wire brush that might work,

I will buy some of that liquid and give that a try,

I am working hard at this and I am not getting any where, it is starting to piss me off.

If you soaked the tail pipe of an old car with soap and water - would the tail pipe become clean???

How did you plug the tube from the bottom, the first time it tried it worked using a plastic bottle and now it does not work.

I will have to go get a air plug for PVC pipe and put some pressure on it.

If you could let me know how you did it,

also do you think CL would work instead of lps#2#3

The only reason I have ever found

Well I tried soaking the tubes and that did no good, I am just going to wait until cold weather comes and get the unit hot and then shut it down like you said and then try to scrap them clean,

I was hoping for a easy fix, well I will let you know how it goes when the time comes.

thanks for your help

On another note, when I install my boiler i did not hook up my domestic hot water cause I did not know how to hook it up,
do I just tap off of the cold side of my existing water heater and then the hot water from my boiler to the hot side of the water heater,

Do I need any special parts to use this or is it just cut and dry how to use it.

I would like to see some pics if you have any

thanks

As with all wet system questions that address specific installation and use issues ---> there are only two correct answers./img]
