HILL COUNTRY, TEXAS — David Williams, also known as The Plumbers Plunger on social media, is a highly skilled journeyman plumber from Texas with over a decade of experience in residential service. In addition to his plumbing work, David enjoys interacting with his social media followers and sharing his insights and tips with other plumbing enthusiasts.
During his apprenticeship under a master plumber, David was first introduced to Oatey products, particularly its primers and cements. Every company David has worked for throughout his career has trusted Oatey products, instilling in him a strong belief in their quality and reliability.
While David may not always be free to select his preferred products, he consistently chooses Oatey whenever possible. One Oatey product that has earned his trust is the Hercules Haymaker® Tankless Water Heater Descaler Kit, which he considers a standout solution.
Reliable and Effective Maintenance with Hercules Haymaker
Many tankless water heaters need annual flushing to maintain efficiency, performance and warranty coverage. David uses the Hercules Haymaker to keep them in optimal condition. This comprehensive kit includes a descaling solution, a pump, hoses, and a bucket, making it easy to remove scale and maintain efficiency.
“It always gets the job done,” he says. “Whenever I encounter a calcium clog, I reach for the Haymaker solution in the kit. It consistently cleans out the blockage without fail.”
The kit's comprehensive design has proven invaluable for maintenance tasks. "It has helped with maintenance, especially since we have contracts with customers to perform yearly flushes,” he continues. “Having the kit means I don't have to worry about its effectiveness. It does what it needs to do without any issues, consistently delivering results.”
Hercules Haymaker is built to withstand harsh water conditions, ensuring water heater longevity and performance. It is citric acid-based, noncorrosive, and VOC-free, making it safe for septic systems, sewers, and potable water systems. The kit effectively removes carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, rust, oxides, and other mineral deposits, ensuring a tankless water heater performs at its best.
David also values the Haymaker kit’s flexibility in offering alternative solutions to his clients. For instance, instead of immediately recommending a valve replacement, he can offer to try the descaling solution first, often saving his clients money.
“It also helps with shower valves," David adds. “Giving my clients an option to clean them, rather than replace them, saves money and effort.”
A Perfect Fit for Professional Use
When asked if there were any areas where the product could be improved, David confidently stated, "I don't have any issues with it. It does what it needs to do. The pump works great; the solution works as needed. There’s really nothing I can think of that could be done better."
David wholeheartedly recommends the Hercules Haymaker kit to other plumbing contractors. He even features it in his videos and social media posts, spreading the word about its effectiveness and reliability.
