Got the citric acid, will do 45 min hot water with 1-2 tablespoons per
liter before draining. Do I need plumbing tape to install the new
element? I was looking for food grade but looks like silicone plumbing
tape is the closest option. Do I even need it - a small bag of
sealant came bundled with replacement part. Thanks.
NOT THAT STUFF!
You want PTFE tape (aka 'teflon' - poly-tetra-fluro-ethylene). It's
super thin and super slippery. The sealant you received might be the go
though. Since it was supplied. But I have no information about it. I
use plumbers tape. It *is* 'food safe' - the plumbing industry uses it
as a threadseal. It decomposes at stupidly high temperatures (but the
brass will melt first) so I think I, and everyone else who has it in
their house, is safe.
