WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PIPE AFTER THE SCALE IS REMOVED?
It could be that scale is sealing a leak, so removing it may cause some leaks. No further action besides a clean pipe occurs. 17 WHERE DOES THE LITTLE SCALE GO? In a once through system, the scale removed is flushed away. In a recirculating system, the scale will settle in a slow flow area such as a sump. This can be removed by bleed off or physically removed if the particles are too large to flush out.
