Cleaning hard water residue from incubator water line?

[Cara]

My incubator keeps telling me it is out of water because the water line is almost completely blocked with limescale. I've only had it since October, but our water is terrible. Does anyone know how to get rid of it, so I can use my incubator again? It's an R-COM 20. Thanks!

CLR and a scotchbrite pad. You may want to use distilled water instead of water from your tap. That will solve any future problems.

 

[Cara]

Thanks, I stocked up on the distilled water! Will CLR not damage the plastic?

Try vinagar first

 

[Cara]

I tried wiping some of the surfaces with vinegar, but it didn't seem to do anything

Soak it with vinegar first then wipe it off. Let it set on there for a little bit. It will work.

 

[Cara]

Malt, white wine, red wine or balsamic?

 

[chickenranchwife]

Either white or apple cider, ac has more accidity in it I have been told.

That's probably where i went wrong before. I used Malt LOL
