cleaning CH heat exchanger
Does anyone know where i can get (or improvise!) a tool that will get
between the fins of my CH heat exchanger to clean it without damaging it? I have used a stiff brush but it is simply not effective at getting deep enough between the narrow gaps. TIA CG |

Still hard work but just the right size. -- Bob Mannix (anti-spam is as easy as 1-2-3 - not) |

I have used a stiff brush but it is simply not effective at getting deep enough between the narrow gaps. I struggled for damn ages. Then I discovered that the crap is water soluble, when I took the heat exhanger off, and washed it in a bucket of water. |
