Mark,
Don't I know that job from a previous boat, so I hear you loud and clear!
Luckily Stella is all freshwater flushing. I had occasion to be servicing the heads (joker valves and macerators)

Nick,
The hose in the above picture lived most of it's life flushing salt water. I converted the boat to fresh water flush in 2018 about a year after buying the boat. It has been flushed exclusively

Re: Descaling the Seawater Lines
Thanks Nick.
What you do is pretty much what I've done previously. I've been using the pink "Starbrite" anti-freeze.
We had a great passage down here from Scotland and the boat performed superbly.
