Bath Reservoir and Wetted Components
A vinegar solution or calcium/lime/rust remover can be used
to remove mineral deposits from the Temperature Controller's
wetted parts. The cleaner should be added to the bath reservoir
at the prescribed dosage and circulated at 60°C / 140°F until the
scale is removed.
Pump Impeller
In the unlikely event that debris becomes lodged in the pump
impeller, a soft brush can be used to remove any lodged
particles. If necessary, soak in a solution of distilled water and
vinegar to soften before brushing.
