Short answer is maybe, but using SpeedClean’s SpeedyBright is smart in a few ways. One, it’s a phosphoric based descaler, not hydrochloric and therefore offers powerful performance but without the danger of corroding your sensitive heat exchangers. Secondly, SpeedyBright is classified by UL to NFS/ANSI Standard 60 for potable water systems. Others’ may not be. Oh, and one more thing. SpeedyBright is pre-measured for easy use. Dump it in and dump a gallon of water in and flush tankless heaters quickly. If you would like to use other chemicals, please refer to the support section of this page to download a compatibility sheet.
Using white vinegar is a popular way to clean light scale on household appliances. However, when it comes to cleaning more industrial products, like water heaters, it can be woefully inadequate. White vinegar has small amounts of acid that clean scale over a long period of time. It can take hours, sometimes days to complete a project. Products like SpeedyBright, our liquid descaler utilize custom blends of stronger acids and corrosion inhibitors to quickly descale. SpeedyBright can accomplish in 30 minutes what vinegar does in 4-6 hours.
We recommend that you leave the power on to your unit, set thermostat to lowest temperature setting and then descale as per directions.
