I have a hotel circa 1980s with copper domestic hot water loop piping that is not leaking, but they have not treated the water and it is clogged everywhere - no hot water. They have been trying to fix it for a long time.
I am thinking piping replacement, but as a first step, I should I:
System should be flushed, filters added, filters checked & cleaned weekly for 3 weeks, then flushed again.
in addition, they have a 2,200 gallon steam to hot water heater storage tank with 1,000 gallon storage tank with a pump between that has not worked for over 4 yrs (probably alot of sediment in tank); never any hot water loop treatment, a city water main charcoal filter broke about 8 years ago and that was distributed throughout causing all of the toilet flapper valves to be replaced - but they did not do a thorough job - only replaced what stopped working, many shower mixing valve issues...
What should I do?
