The Rectorseal tankless water heater cleaner receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from customers. Users find it significantly more effective than alternative cleaners, such as vinegar and Flow Aide, reporting that their water heaters operate at peak efficiency after use. Notably, reviewers with both gas and electric tankless heaters shared high praise for its performance, demonstrating that the product works great in different settings.

Pros

  • 🚀 Efficiently cleans and flushes tankless water heaters, improving their operation.
  • 🎉 More effective than vinegar and Flow Aide, as reported by users.
  • 💥 Capable of removing large amounts of scale and grit from heaters.
  • 💡 Can be applied in both residential and commercial settings, compatible with both gas and electric heaters.

Cons

  • 🥴 Each container of the product is primarily intended for single use, which may not be cost-effective for some users.
  • 😓 Some users mentioned that there were still residues in the water heater post-cleaning, necessitating a thorough flush.

Should I Buy It?

If you own a tankless water heater and are looking for a product that can improve its efficiency by effectively removing build-up, then the Rectorseal cleaner is a sound investment. However, if you were hoping to get multiple uses out of a single bottle, you might want to consider other options. Just keep in mind to thoroughly flush the heater after cleaning to get rid of any residue.

    • Works better than Flow Aide in my opinion
Background you can skip: We have run our Tankless Noritz N0751 since 2008. We initially had the plumber come by yearly to do a flush at an outrageous cost and they used vinegar. 6 years in the unit would not kick in a fast, water flow was down and sometimes wouldnt even kick in. Plumber diagnosis: we have hard water and these units simply wont last long in that environment. Buy a new one for 3000$ for a retro fit install. I booted them out. Installed - should have done it years ago- isolation valves and used flow aide based on online recommendations. Ran diluted flow aide for one hour and came down to find the flush water black. The machine ran like new. Conclusion: Flow Aide > Vinegar, i.e. Flow Aide is better at cleaning than vinegar. However, flow Aide has gotten expensive. Recently I cleaned with the last bit of Flow Aide and when it ran clean I decided to try RectorSeal right after to see if it would still help. Whaddaya know, after 45 minutes i came down to find the water BLACK again. So my view is: RectorSeal > Flow Aide > Vinegar. Pros: Cleans well in well water / hard water environment. Our Nortiz Tankless is turning 15 with no end in sight. Beats the alternatives in effectiveness ... and in price Cons: None yet. ... show more

    • Worked on my water heater flush, but pricey and makes noxious vapors
I did a flush on my propane on-demand water heater for the first time after 4 years of use. When I added this to the mix water in a 5 gal bucket, it off-gassed with a nasty smelling gas that I was not expecting, and I almost took a big whiff of it before I realized what was happening and turned my head away. There should have been a warning about that...be very careful of the vapors when initially pouring it into the water. The crystals then fell to the bottom, it has to be mixed in physically to dissolve all the crystals. Because it creates an acid solution, use a plastic bucket and plastic or wood to mix, do not use metal. I then ran this through my WH for 20 minutes as instructed. It went in clear and after 20 minutes I had an orangey-pink solution with some orange particles in the bucket. I used rubber washer hoses with brass hose ends. The 2 hose ends that were submerged in the bucket corroded during use, turned from a shiny brass gold to a dull grey color. I would consider the WH flush project a success, judging by how much scale ended up in the acid solution. Also, be careful how you dispose of the waste solution - it is a pretty strong acid so it will eat through metal, stone and concrete. I looked it up after the fact (should have done this before) and discovered it is just "sulfamic acid" crystals under a fancy trade name and in a fancy container. You can buy the same sulfamic acid off the shelf at a store for 1/3 the price, which is what I will do next time. Poor value for the money when you consider alternatives are readily available, but it was effective for flushing my WH. ... show more

I was unaware that on demand water heaters needed to be flushed out from time to time, until my first one died (after a dozen years or so) and the service guy said "When was the last time you flushed this one out?" He seemed surprised that it lasted 12 years with no maintenance. They are not inexpensive to replace, so decided a bit of an investment in maintenance might prolong its life. And with products such as this, it is easy to do. You can get a kit, or make your own. A sump pump, two longish washing machine hoses, and a bucket. When yours was installed it should have two hose connectors on the bottom. Close off the water in and out, take off the caps, attach the hoses, turn on those valves to the heater from the bypass (sump pump out goes to cold in, and the hose back to the bucket is hot out, but probably does not matter if you do it backwards). This product you mix with a gallon of water in the bucket. I understand that vinegar does the same thing, but I really dislike the smell of vinegar, so thought I would give this a try. When cleaning, this product, mixed with water, gets pumped up through the hot water heater, and comes out the other side, back into the bucket. I read to let it run for about half an hour, which I did. It started as a cloudy solution, and after half an hour was a clear fluid, with a slight bluish tint. I did not notice any odor at all. When I did open the container of this powder, there were some big clumps, so did have to break it up with a screwdriver to get it out of the container, but not a big deal. Once I added water it quickly all dissolved. Once I was done, I let the cold water run through and out into the bucket, took about 2-3 gallons until that water was clear, then closed back up everything, and put all valves back where I had found them. This morning had a nice hot shower, so seems to be working fine. It is hard to say "This worked" because it is preventing a potential future problem. There was some "gunk" around the rim of my bucket when I was done, so although I didn't see anything in the water, it hopefully dissolved some scale and other stuff as it cleaned inside. I guess the only way for me to confirm it working is to do this every year, and see if the water heater lasts longer than my last and when it does to see how much buildup it has. It might lower by gas use slightly (easier to heat water), but on demand water heaters use so little gas anyway, would be impossible for me to see any significant change and attribute it to this cleaning. But it was easy to use, probably did what it was designed to do, and didn't have an odor. Hopefully it will extend the life of our unit. ... show more
