This was a very cool video. I don't think my solar geyser has any magnesium rods, but probably lots of clay residue. I have borehole water and clay accumulates quickly.

It all depends where you live if there is a lot of soft rock like lime close by then yes but if live in area with a lot of hard rock like granite then probably not.

I don't think mine has that magnesium rod. Is it ok if i buy new one and put it there??
@brieftodo4 жыл бұрын
In theory yes if you can find a pure magnesium rod without a plastic or steel attachment cap. Never cut magnesium with a grinder blade or a saw blade as it is highly flammable. Good luck!

What is the ratio of vinegar to be added to remove the scale inside of the tube
@brieftodo3 жыл бұрын
It is best to use pure white vinegar or for every litre of white vinegar mix with 4 tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate. If it is diluted with water it will work but will take longer to free the scale / hardened minerals what with being less concentrated.

Hello in Mine I have a lot of lime How can I get rid of lime
@brieftodo3 жыл бұрын
To remove lime scale you need to dissolve it by using a solution of one litre of white vinegar mixed with four table spoons of sodium bicarbonate which should be added slowly in a well ventilated area. On the tank close the drain valve and fill it by pouring the solution via one of the tube holes. If the tubes contain lime scale put them in the shade standing vertically with some form of support and cushioned at the base then fill the tube(s) with the above solution. The lime scale should dissolve within an hour then rinse the tank and tubes well with water before reassembly.

Where is the scale build up coming from? Is yours an open system, meaning the water also runs within the tubes?
@brieftodo4 жыл бұрын
Yes it is an open water system / gravity fed, the scale accumulates mainly in the base of every tube and in the base of the tank.

@@brieftodo How does the water circulate through the tubes? With the tubes closed on the bottom end, is the heat transfer done just from a thermosiphon action within each tube? How does this compare with ones that use heat pipes for doing the heat exchange?

Why not just buy a water softner ?
@brieftodo3 жыл бұрын
Only top end water softeners would cut it and they aren't exactly cheap, in Mexico a 250 litre gravity fed solar water heater only costs around $400 USD (2021). Plus solar water heaters need the silicon seals to be changed every 2-3 years so I now do that (in my other video) at the same time as cleaning the tubes and the tank.
