I have an aluminum water tank that from time to time builds up a white scale inside. It comes out in pieces thru the spigot or sometimes clogs the outlet at the bottom of the tank.
Is there a product that will disolve it and is:
Safe for dogs after multiple rinsings
Safe for use with aluminum.
You could try a couple of things: cider vinegar, diluted w/ equal parts water if it's not too bad, more vinegar than water if it's bad, soaking with solution for a a couple of hours to a couple of days and a little elbow grease, depending on the scale, should work well. You could use a cleaner used for coffee makers, but you may need a quantity depending on the size of your tank. Lemon juice might work too. All safe for dogs.
Thanks, I will try the some of these suggestions. Elbow grease might not be an option since all I have is a 2 inch filler tube. It would have to be something I could pour in and let it sit and disolve the scale.
I had someone else recommend using CLR, but my concern was how log it took to flush out of my water tank for the dogs to drink. Any issues or suggestions?
I think cider vinegar would work as well but most recommend white vinegar for scale. I think it's cheaper and not as smelly.
