Product Overview

SUBMITTAL SHEET: Sizzle®

SPECIFICATIONS: Sizzle®
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
WEAR GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND RUBBER GLOVES. HOLD PRODUCT AT ARM’S LENGTH. USE ONLY
COLD WATER WHEN DILUTING Sizzle. The sizzling action of Sizzle may often be used as a guide to determine
when the line is clear or when the solution is spent. While this sizzling action occurs with carbonate deposits,
it does not occur when deposits consist of sulfate, phosphate and other insoluble salts. Therefore, sizzling
action may be used as a guide, but when it does not occur, Hercules pH Test Papers should be used to
determine active acid content of spent solution.
GAS WATER HEATERS:
1. Turn off heat source.
2. Drain all hot water and run until water is cold.
3. Shut off water supply to heater.
4. Break unions of inlet and outlet water lines and drain tank.
5. For a 30-gallon tank, add 4 gallons of cold water then 1 gallon of Sizzle. Allow solution to work 1 to
2 hours.
6. Flush out Sizzle solution to a drain, not to the floor.
7. Keep draincock open, connect up cold water line and flush thoroughly.
8. Close draincock, fill tank with cold water then drain. Repeat twice more.
9. Reconnect hot water side, fill tank and turn on heat source.
HOT WATER COILS:
1) Close the cold water feed valve to the tank or coil.
2) Break the nearest union on the cold water feed line to the unit.
3) Connect a standpipe into the cold water feed line to unit. Inlet must be at least 6” higher than hot
water outlet line.
4) Break nearest union on hot water outlet line.
5) Make a solution of 1 quart Sizzle and 2 parts water and add to standpipe until solution runs out the
hot water outlet. Hot water outlet should be at least 1” higher than coils.
6) Leave solution in unit until foaming stops. Unit is clean if adding more Sizzle solution does not
produce more foaming.
7) Thoroughly back flush to remove residue and remaining acid solution by removing the standpipe
and inserting water hose into hot water outlet of unit. Back flush through and out cold water inlet
for at least 5 minutes after all foam or residue is removed.
COOLING TOWERS, EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS and HEAT EXCHANGERS:
1) Drain sump, flush out, or remove all loose sludge and dirt to reduce Sizzle consumption.
2) Close bleed line and refill sump with clean water and start circulating pump.
3) Add 1 gallon Sizzle every 5 minutes up to 1 gallon for each 15 gallons of system capacity.
4) Circulate solution through equipment. Check pH every 10 minutes with a meter or test paper. Add
Sizzle as necessary to maintain pH between 4 and 6 or lower for faster cleaning. Do not add more
than 2 additional gallons of Sizzle per 15 gallons of system capacity without draining and flushing.
5) Cleaning is complete when little or no increase in pH occurs between measurements.
6) Drain and thoroughly flush twice before returning to service.
UNIT HEATERS: Fill steam/water coils with a solution of 2 parts water and 1 part Sizzle. If a recirculating unit is
used, use 5 parts water to 1 part Sizzle. Allow solution to work until foaming stops, then flush.
BOILERS: Depending on scale build-up apply 10 to 15 parts of COLD water to 1 part Sizzle. After at least 12
hours, flush boiler thoroughly.
TOILETS/URINALS:
1) Flush to remove any other cleaning chemicals which might be present.
2) Add 1 to 1 1/2 pints Sizzle. Add 2 quarts for flush tanks.
3) Cover urinals to minimize fumes then allow Sizzle to work 15 to 30 minutes.
4) Brush and flush.
CONCRETE, GROUT OR PLASTER BLOCKAGES IN LINES OR DRAINS: Remove as much standing water as
possible. Add Sizzle full strength. When sizzling stops or solution is spent, flush thoroughly with COLD water.
Repeat treatment, if necessary.
