Tankless Water Heater citric acid flush day! About 1.5lb citric acid to 3.5 gallons of water. Long ago I did the math to get the right pH and now I just trust it đŸ˜†âš–ïžA tankless water heater maintenance setup is shown. Two hoses are connected to the heater, with their ends immersed in a bucket filled with almost 4 gallons of water and 1.5lbs of citric acid crystals.

A circus came to town for the weekend. Behind us. The City got an earful from us and our neighbors as we only found out when the tent was being pitched. Now all I can think of is the announcement “The huuuuuman caaaanonbaaaall” Circus tent with blue and red swirl designs, set up on a dry, grassy area. Nearby, there’s a portable generator and several trailers in the background under a cirrus-laden sky.
