Unlike the water part, you cannot disassemble the gas part of the water heater yourself; only a specialist from the city gas service should do this. The only thing we can do to eliminate soot is to remove carbon deposits from the burner jets.
The soot is swept away with a metal brush.
It is advisable to immediately check the column for gas leaks. To do this, you need rcs data prepare a soap solution, which is applied to all joints of gas pipes and units. The formation of characteristic bubbles at the junction will indicate a gas leak. If a leak is detected, turn off the gas and call 104.
The need for cleaning the column can be reduced to a minimum by preventive measures. Using filters and devices to reduce water hardness helps the column operate longer without failures and cleaning.
Cleaning principles
To clean the column from scale, you need to understand the assembly features of the device, study the instructions, prepare a cleaning solution, a set of tools for removing screws and tightening valves.
To clean the unit you will need:
set of keys;
screwdrivers;
rubber hose up to 1 m;
set of paronite gaskets;
funnel;
folk or chemical means for removing scale.
The first element heats up water, which comes from the water supply when the wick burner is started. The combustion products exit through the ventilation hole.
