Posted Wed Jul 23, 2008, 5:42pm Subject: Hot or Cold Descaling?
I'm descaling my Silivia for the first time. I'm using the liquid Saeco descaler (Enktalker is the name I think). It says to mix with 1 litre of hot water (at a max of 60C it says). I assume this means I should run it throught the machine and quickly turn off the machine when the pump is off so that the solution does not heat up too much.
But, in every explanation I've read on how to descale (including the WLL descaling video), they show the machine left on during the 10 minute waits between flushes. This would mean the descaler would be at 105C in my boiler.
