Re: Lime Deposits

["Ken Boorman" <boorman_ken@hotmail.com>]

Hi Jerry,
            I'll come out of lurking for this one. Only way I know to get
rid af calcium deposits is on an empty tank. Get a soft plastic scourer (no
soap obviously) and some whire vinegar. Just tip a little vinegar in the
empty tank and swab down the sides with the scourer. Rinse well and allow to
dry. I only had the vinegar in the tank for a matter of minutes, and it got
rid of the calcium deposits completely. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ken.
