I have it setup for doing the above and in the past I have been using just vinegar. Wondering if the more industrial strength vinegar,30%, would be a better choice.
I thought I asked about this in the past but my search di not turn out anything.
Thanks!

There are descaleing products made for this application one can purchase.
But strong vinegar works on the lime or calcium component...scale isn't always made of only lime, so vinegar may not be 100% effective.
