What's your heat exchanger protocol?
Hot rinse, caustic, rinse, pack with water? Leave open to air dry? Pack with disinfectant? Back flush when? Use a beerstone remover like nitric or phos?
After reading multiple threads about infection from the heat exchanger, I wanted to get an idea of a yearly QA/QC routine. Our HX is about two years old and I want to make sure no "biofilm" builds up. That stuff scares me.
