Classification: CPC F  B  C | IPC C  F

Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a controller to:
receive sensor data from one or more sensors of a water heater appliance, the one or more sensors including a conductivity sensor of a water heater appliance and the sensor data including raw conductivity data from the conductivity sensor;
determine calculated conductivity data based at least in part on the sensor data;
output instructions for initiating a descaling cycle based at least in part on the calculated conductivity data;
subsequent to initiation of the descaling cycle, output instructions for terminating the descaling cycle in response to determining that an increase in the calculated conductivity data has stopped.
