I talked with my brother the water expert. The Rydlyme will work on the calcium. HOWEVER, you will need to add a defaming agent (available at pool or hot tub store) as the breaking down of calcium will cause hydrogen and carbon dioxide release which will cause the foam. Also, you will need to remove the thermostat or it will capitate and eat itself up. After you get the desired results, you will need to do multiple flushes to get rid of the residual Rydlyme as it will destroy the antifreeze.

Check out the other stuff I suggested as it will work the same way, still needing the defamer and no thermostat.

With either of the chemicals you use, if its possible to flow the water without running the engine it will work. In any case as temp of the water increases so does the chemical reaction to convert the calcium. Be careful as if it gets up to op temp it becomes detrimental to aluminum. Recommended max temp 120F will make everything be happy.

I have no effective way to circulate the water/chem mix without running the engine..
Thanks!
Better pic once everything dried out.

Florida is going up scary fast!
Been on several 400k+ sqft warehouses in the last year
The frightening part is they have whole side walls only being held in with 4 panel to footer connections and roof PA that’s attached to the deck via shot pin!
Asked the superintendent one time and he said the Caulked seem is an attachment also:roflmao:

If you can put an inline pump on the heater circuit, that would circulate the product. I think HF sells a cheap rubber impeller pump that you could plumb in. Hopefully most of the stuff came out with the liners.

Beating my head against a wall trying to get a Subcontractor in this facility. This is my third attempt and been trying to get it done since May. It’s for 30mins worth of work. If there is a 4th attempt I might just say they’re only making a delivery not working.

I'm an engineer who lays out lifts and such. Was on a job with 94k hanging on the hook at 400' radius when they called for 1/2" swing so they could make up the bolts.

Been on the deck when survey tells us we are 6" out of level and we hold with no movement for the duration of one stroke and call for a new shot. New shot says we are out of level 6" the other way (no movement of piece by us), then client tells us to start lifting and keeping it level the way we know how. 300' tape hanging down is faster and more reliable than survey. Survey complained that they could not get a reading fast enough.
