Descaling and Water Hardness

Bismarck’s average municipal hardness is cited at 7.3 grains per gallon from the City’s 2025 report. Hardness can influence scale. Do not copy a universal descaling interval — follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the unit’s actual condition. See Bismarck Water Hardness & Softener Guide.

Maintenance Questions to Ask

• What does the manufacturer require?

• How does local water hardness affect maintenance?

• Is an inlet screen or filter involved?

• What signs indicate scale?

• What service record should be kept?

Compatibility and System Fit

Fuel, Venting, Gas & Electrical

Tankless units may require adequate gas capacity, electrical supply, approved venting, condensate handling, and water-line sizing. Switching from tank to tankless may not be a direct swap.
