The Importance of Descaling

Q: How can I tell when my aqueous parts-washer should be descaled?

A: You’re going to start seeing redistribution of your soils on your substrates. The best way to tell is to open up your tanks, and if you can see heavy scale hanging down from the top, that is the easiest way to tell.

Q: How often should I descale my machine?

A: It depends on how often you use it, what soils you’re cleaning off, the chemistry, and what type of water you’re using. All of these factors determine when you should descale your machine.

Q: Will descaling my machine extend bath life?

A: Yes, there is a good correlation. A cleaned-out machine with no residues and scales, combined with a clean bath, will be very effective.

Q: How long will it take to properly descale my machine?

A: That depends on the size and complexity of your machine. It also depends on your time and the number of people who can help. If you have descaled your machine enough, this could also speed up the process.
