Hi PT,
I used to sell distillers, and I believe that you are filling the
boiling tank too much. There has to be some room above the water level
for just steam to be. And then the steam gets forced into the cooling coils.

Thanks, Ode. When I clean it this week I will do a pot of vinegar.
Should it be mixed with water or just straight?
I use citric acid to clean the pot but don't let it run through the
system. Would that also work? I like it because it is also a microbial.
I appreciate your help.

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]

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. The water is very hard where I
live and usually the inside of the pot needs to be cleaned at
least once a week (I distill 1 pot a day). The substance almost
looks like the minerals that build up on the inside of the pot on
the sides where it dries. I also noticed a white powdery
substance on the inside of the tube that the water drips out of.
Anyone have any ideas on what this could be and how I can resolve it?
Thanks.
