How to determine what column needs cleaning? If during the opening of the crane with hot water, the jet has become thin or weakly heats, it is time to clean the device. Two nodes follow in the gas column:
spiral;
place for collecting Gary and Soota.

To clean the column, it is not necessary to dismantle it. First, overcoat the gas and water. Unscrew the screws that fasten the front cover, and remove it. Now remove the filter, it will be covered with a layer of scale and salt. Remove these formations on the filter can be mechanically or with household chemicals. Pour water into a large container and dissolve vinegar in it. Immerse the filter into the solution and let it stand.

The next stage implies the removal of the heat exchanger. To do this, unscrew the nuts from the pipe supply and drain water and remove the heat exchanger. If the nuts "have increased" to the pipes, drip to problem spaces with VD-40 liquid, it can be purchased in any automata. This substance contains an acid that is constructed by the balance of scale.

Now install the heat exchanger in a large container and fill it into it to dissolve scale. This substance can be purchased or made independently. To do this, dissolve 50 g of citric acid in 500 g of water and pour the heat exchanger with liquid. Leave this item in a solution for 4-5 hours. After that, rinse the heat exchanger in running water. To completely remove the acid, you need to connect the hose to the part and turn on the tap with water. Now dry the heat exchanger and install it in place.

Instead of a citric acid solution, you can purchase an anti-vakipin teapot detergent. You can also prepare a solution of vinegar. To do this, mix the glass of water with the same amount of vinegar. Fill the liquid into the hole through the funnel and leave overnight. After that, rinse with warm water.

What if there are problems with burning? In this case, it is necessary to clean the column from the soot. It is worth remembering that this node is desirable to disassemble in the presence of a gas service employee. It is impossible to dismantle the gas node yourself. You can clean only the nozzles. To do this, select a suitable thin wire and place it in the holes on the nozzles. Now with a metal brush, remove the soot. You need to spin the nuts and check the tightness of the device. To do this, apply soap solution to the pipe connections. If you notice bubbles, overcoat the gas and call emergency service.
Most often, the soot is formed in places where gas is a little. Sometimes it is impossible to feel the characteristic smell due to a small amount of gas. You can detect a problem space, only using a soap solution. If you are not sure about your abilities, then use the services of specialists. They have all the necessary tools and fixtures for maintenance of the column.
