Review: Shows a color change when completed. - Used on a Rennai tankless water heater that was 18 months in service on city water. Flushed for 60 minutes. Inlet filter was clean before and after the flush. Flow-Aide doesn’t say on the label, but in does make your flush mix an amber or yellowish color. After flushing for an hour the water was clear or a slight blueish. This shows that the flush was effective. Will be using again in 12 months! Review: Easy DIY That Saves a Ton of Money - This product makes flushing my tankless water heater incredibly easy. What used to seem like a job only a plumber could handle is now a quick DIY project I can take care of myself. The instructions are clear, and once you get set up, the whole process is smooth and hassle-free. The best part? It saves SOOOO much money. A plumber would charge several hundred dollars to do exactly what I can now finish in less than an hour with this descaler. The results are great and my water heater runs like new (and stays that way because I keep up with the maintenance). I know I’m also extending its lifespan and protecting my investment just by doing this once a year. DIY setup I used: - A clean Home Depot/Lowe’s bucket - A small circulation pump (I used the same sump/water cleanup pump I keep for my basement) - Two 6' washing machine hoses for easier reach - The service connections my plumber installed on my tankless unit I connected the pump output to the service valve on the heater, ran the return line back into the bucket, and used a small clamp to keep the hose in place. Once everything was hooked up, I let it circulate with the descaler for an hour (longer if there’s heavier scale, per the directions). All of these extra items are reusable. You just need to buy this descaler annually. Rinse everything afterward, let it dry, and it’s good to go for next year. If you own a tankless water heater, this is a must-have. It’s one of those products that pays for itself after the very first use. ## Features - Non-Corrosive, Non-Toxic, Fully Biodegradable, Safe to Handle, Zero VOC - Quickly dissolves water scale, lime rust and other water formed deposits, restoring efficiency to most all appliances - Certified to NSF/ANSI 60 for use as a cleaner in potable water systems - 32oz bottle (1 quart) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00E5P5XFS | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,934 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #370 in All-Purpose Household Cleaners | | Brand | J.C.

I have a pump and a bucket, and I hook hoses to the cold and hot water flush connections supplied with the water heater. The other end of one hose is connected to the pump output, and the other is inserted in the bucket for return flow. I put a full quart of the Flow-Aide in the bucket, then fill with water to cover the pump. Open the vlaves, turn the pump on and recirculate for about 30 to 45 minutes.There's probably other de-scaling uses for this product, but it would likely require a recirculation setup to be effective. **Q: Does this product contain vinegar?** A: The container does not list the ingredients; it does say it is biodegradable. **Q: Can you use this in a washing machine? Dishwasher?** A: Yes, this should be fine for that and the Flow-Aide is: Non-Corrosive, Non-Toxic, Fully Biodegradable, Safe to Handle, Zero V.O.C. You may want to first consult the manufacturer of the product you are descaling but you should be fine. GlobalTowne is an authorized J.C. Whitlam distributor. **Q: Has anyone used this in a regular water heater (not tankless)? We have a 50 gallon with a lot of sediment. Tried vinegar but it didn't work.** A: No. Only used on gas tankless unit. I assume the main potential issue would be the amount you'd need to cycle the right dilution through that 50 gallon tank...and any potential negative issues with the anode tube and elements. I'd find something particular to a tank water heater. Good luck! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shows a color change when completed. *by P***N on February 27, 2026* Used on a Rennai tankless water heater that was 18 months in service on city water.
