Tankless hot water heater related questions

Author: monkey1 (AK)

I am replacing my tankless HWH soon. I have a few questions related to the new unit.
1. My municipality provides 7 CW natural gas pressure for my residential line. If I buy a tankless HWH that is rated for 8 CW, will it run?
2. How often do I REALLY need to descale the tankless HWH with white vinegar? I have a 2-person household.
3. For how long do I run the descaling process? What will happen if I run the descaling process longer?

Author: monkey1 (AK) CW = column of water = WC I have a heater unit. HWH and Heater both share a one-inch supply line and working fine for many years now. I am replacing the tankless HWH soon. The new HWH is twice the size of the old one. Edited 1 times.
