It does not help clean the heater but does help keeping the scale from attaching to the sides

Tankless heaters have the tendency to built up layers of scales. If there is a large built up of scales then you would have try a descaling procedure using a chemical.If there is not such a built up of scales, then you can try this water filter but it will take 30-60 days to descale and clean the tank and you might find that thewater is restricted as there will be pieces by the aerator and you will have to remove the aerator to clean it out.

The filter in installed at a location in the cold water line before the tankless heater. It removes certain minerals before the water enters the tankless heater.

Yes. This will eliminate odor in the Grey Water Tank. You don't want to drain your holding tanks until they are reasonably full so that you get a good "flush".

No unless you have an electrics water heater plugged Into the same wiring . Won't bother a gas water heater as most are sealed now but should also not bother older water heaters .

I cleaned mine when I received it, read the instructions that came with it, basically can be cleaned easily with typical vacuum attachment, I have several types of ceramic heaters and have found that cleaning them every at least every once a week during the winter is the best way to keep them long running and safe. It also keeps down the burnt hair smell that these heaters can some times have. Even brand new out of the box is always best to clean before first usage and after first time used. I purchased during the summer so cleaned, tested and put it away till winter.

The heater I have is in a plastic pond (200 gal.). The suction cups wouldn't work due to the slimy sides, so I just dropped it in. Works great. If your tank is glass, you should have no worries. I've had our heater for 2 years now and it still works like new.

Yes, based on the Hoover website ( http://hoover.com/parts/details/42272172/dirty-water-recovery-tank-assembly-v2-steamvacs/). There's also this new thing called Google which I used to look it up!

Yes it will. I bought this for the small tanks used in a my buddy heater. It worked great.

I do not know if it will hurt your heater. I clean my heaters at least every two weeks by wiping off any build up. I have used vinegar on stubborn spots and that has not hurt my heaters. You may need to contact the manufacturer. I would think the performance would be affected if the algae were thick.

No. The heater has inside a piece that moves back when the heater flips and turn it off automatically, there is no way to get rid of it.

I pulled my manual out and here are the cleaning directions.After using the device 5-6 times or 2-3 days, clean as follows:1. Unplug the power cord from the base of the unit and uncover.2. Pour out any remaining water from the "DRAIN SIDE" of the tank.3. Put 1 Tablespoon of citric acid in the water tank, add just under 100 ml of warm water.4. Leave water for 5 minutes, and then drain the solution from the "DRAIN SIDE" of the tank.5. Wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid Ultrasonic Vibration plate area, which can be gently cleaned with a cotton bud.Never use other acids, enzymes or detergents, as this may risk poisonous gas to be created or cause malfunction.

It might depending on the overall nature of the problem. For the best overall result or answer I would inquiry direct to heater manufacturer prior to making the purchase .

It's very important for your water heater. This will corrode before your hot water tank will. I pulled mine out of the trailer that I bought used and the old one was really corroded ( GOOD THING ) It's a great idea to replace this. It will make your hot water tank last longer. 5 stars on this purchase.

We have not used it enough or had it long enough to worry about that. I am not sure that I have ever cleaned the inside of a small heater and don't recall noticing that it ever got dirty.

It should work. It stop the heater from getting a white powder on the burners.

It should. It removed more than 10 years worth of stains from my fish tank. Please make sure you follow instructions as directed

No. Only rusty gas tanks need treatment. Keep the gas clear of water or empty all fuel out if storing a device for winter so it cannot absorb moisture (like garden equipment). I used it because I ignored my own advice and left the back-up generator with fuel for a couple of years! I do agree with the second answer idepending where you live, for example in the Caribbean our humidity is 83-88%

I have a Bradford White 40 gal heater3500w-4500w and the element fit just like the old one. I reccomend getting the socket tool to remove and install the element. I also replaced both elements. I have hot water again like it was new. I also found out that you need to drain the tank every 2-4 months to prevent mineral build up. That is what caused mine to fail.
