Rust Neutralizer

[patrick flowers]

I came across an apparently neat product at Home Depot saturday. In
their paint department, they sell a product called "NeutraRust".
According to the label, it is non-toxic. It applies with a paint brush
like latex paint and cleans up with water.

I tried it first on my old water heater enclosure(I'm replacing the tank
with a Demaere stainless steel version) with good results. It dries in
about 15 minutes, but the instructions advise letting it cure for
several days before applying a top coat. It's available in blue, grey
and black. It's turns black when it cures over rust, so I bought the
blue in order to be able to see the color change better. According to
the label, it works as a primer after it sets up, so I'm planning to use
the rustoleum right over it. I'll let everyone know how it holds up.

It's a little pricey at $13/pint, but a little goes a long way.

You need to remove the rear panel on the bath module and can then access the
water heater unit from the backside

It is just a few screws to remove the entire rear panel

At least that is how I removed mine

I also had to remove the overhead cabinet and the woodwork around the
water tank. Also to make it a little easier, I cut the vent line that
runs up the back of the module and used a "no-hub" coupling to put it
back together.

Ain't no way it's coming out through the vanity!
Been there, done that!

Depending on whether it is a type 1 or 2, drain the water heater,(be sure
that the engine is cold and no pressure at the radiator cap). remove
sliding doors, door frame and shelf liner, hoses and wires to the heater.
Heater should come out through the hole. Sounds easy probably tough.
