Hello,
I have had numerous issues with my GC installed Rinnai Tankless system with a conventional circle pump on a timer back in 2012. On advice from another plumber, I replaced it with a Navien that has a built in pump and I finally have sufficient hot water and pressure.
Added Notes: I forgot to mention that I did install a Scale Sentry salt free descaler and whole house filter about 2 years ago at my water main on advice of original plumber soon after first complaining about issues after moving in. That didn't seem to help anything until I just installed the Navien. At the same time, I also put in a second Descaler made by Pelican at the point of the my Tankless on other side of the house from the water main. My City discourages salt based softeners.
After my new plumber installed the Navien and Pelican Descaler, and I showed him the electric holding tank my GC installed to prevent temp drops, he took it upon himself to remove it completely a few days later. He said it was keeping him up in the middle of the night as to why I should have so much deposits in my nearly new house.
The problem after installing the new one, and that I"ve had in the past is what I'm told is very Hard city water. Thing is I have another house next door on same water system built in 2008 with a Nortiz non circ pump system and never had a problem.
.
My new house has had many issues with hard water forcing me to replace the circ pump at least once and blamed for all my issues.
Now I am looking into blue water and want to share pictures of the removed electric holding tank that for al while was also plugged in in an attempt to provide more hot water.
Can someone point me to how to determine if the hard water deposits are coming from the City Source wAter or being created inside my closed water system by way of electrolysis or some other PH issue or?
