    摘要: In one example, a system for collecting scale from water in a water heating appliance includes a reservoir having an interior, an inlet through which the water flows into the interior, and an outlet through which the water flows from the interior, the inlet, the outlet, and the interior defining a water pathway. A filter is positioned within the interior of the reservoir and the filter is oriented to traverse the water pathway and divide the interior of the reservoir into an upstream section into which the water flows from the inlet and a downstream section from which the water flows to the outlet. A collection chamber is configured to receive scale as the water flows along the water pathway through the interior of the reservoir and the water passes through the filter. The collection chamber is positioned in or adjacent the upstream section of the interior of the reservoir.
