Has anyone seen an TV ad for CLR?
THEY PUT SOME IN A GLASS AND HOLD IT OVER A CLOGGED SHOWER HEAD [LIME AND MINERAL'S HAVE IT PRETTY CLOGGED] AND IN A COUPLE ON SEC. THEY REMOVE THE CUP AND IT FLOWS LIKE NEW.
They use it in coffee machines,ect..
Where ever hard water has done damage.
Anyone know what this stuff is made up of?
Do you think it would be good to use as a cleaner for your PW?:confused:
 
CLR is manufactured by Jelmar. The product you saw advertised is highly corrosive. It's three main components are acids: glycolic acid, sulfamic acid and citric acid.
I would not use it as you are suggesting - will cause you and your equipment more problems then it will solve.

CLR is most likely not compatible with the seals and o-ring material inside your equipment.

It's not recommended for use on metals and coated surfaces including cast iron, aluminum, galvanized metals, painted surfaces. Should not be mixed with chlorine or any other chemicals as it could cause toxic fumes. It will not remove oil stains from my concrete driveway or garage floor. Actually if mixed with oil, it will darken the concrete, making it more difficult to remove.

However, it may work real well on your $25 shower head (it didn't work well for me even after 4 hours of soaking.

Safety First and Make IT Last!

In other words i would'nt run it threw my system, just the coil.
