What happens to the pipe and equipment once the scale is removed?
The piping and system will remain clean, but should be inspected for leaks upon the removal of scale. In some instances, e.g., old piping, only the scale was preventing the pipes from leaking; the removal of the scale may reveal leaks that had previously developed. TWT advises that any time a TWT System is installed on an old piece of equipment, the user be aware of the fact that, once the scale is removed, the system could possibly leak. This is true in pipes, heat exchangers, boilers, or any other piece of equipment.
