I found an independent plumber who had no qualms to flush the unit. I spent less than $350 and he backs up the work. Send me a PM if you'd like details.

My minor issue with Navien is how the intake pipe will accumulate snow during very cold periods of winter. It is easy to brush out but it's a pain to discover your shower is cold and have to go outside in -20 to fix it.

Other than that, as long as you remember to clean the filter once in a while it has been great.
