I probably should descale the coffee maker someday! I thank everyone for their insights.
Pool pH increaser is usually sodium carbonate which reacts with water to make sodium hydroxide and CO2. Another source of sodium carbonate is Arm & Hammer washing soda, which I’ve found at Walmart.
Absolutely. I usually put a teaspoon of TSP in at fill up and then that usually buffers me for a whole weekend of running. I do check the water each day though incase it does need adjustingFender wrote: ↑Wed May 06, 2020 4:36 pm I think it’s also worth mentioning that any of these chemicals used to treat the water are only needed in minute quantities. Of course, if you are descaling with vinegar, citric acid or hydrochloric acid, it will need to be a stronger concentration to be effective, but this is followed by a good flushing. Anything used to correct pH or otherwise treat the water while steaming will be very much diluted. Otherwise, you will be greatly increasing the dissolved solids in the water and making the scale problem worse!
