That would be minerals from over boil. If you can slow that distiller down [less hot, but a lot slower] that stuff should stay in the pot like most of it does. Soak the condenser in an acid like CLR, dilute Muriatic [Hydrochloric acid, HCl] or distilled white vinegar. ["distilled" suggests that distilling some with your distiller will do the job]
Bear in mind that strong HCl will 'passivate' stainless steel if left on too long...makes it sorta black, gold and purple weird stainy lookin] Ode On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 4:26 PM, PT Ferrance <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been using the same distiller for probably close to 10 years and have > never had a problem. > > The other day I noticed some white particles floating on the top of the > water in the distiller jug.
