Embodiment Construction

[0019] In summary, the exemplary embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatus, and valves for an automatic descaling system for a water heater. The descaling system may be a stand-alone system attached to the water heater in use, or the descaling system may be integrated into the water heater. Furthermore, exemplary embodiments may be located in any type of environment (eg, warehouse, attic, garage, storage room, mechanical room, basement) for any type of (eg, commercial, residential, industrial) user. A water heater for use with the exemplary embodiments may be used in one or more of any number of processes (eg, automatic washing machine, automatic dishwasher, shower, sink faucet, heating system, humidifier). Example types of water heaters in which or with which an automatic descaling system may be installed are heating appliances, pool heating appliances, space heating boilers, or other hard-to-reach heat exchanger systems that would otherwise be subject to scaling effect...
