Can this be used to clean a distiller, if so how much does it need to be diluted?

Vernon, The only reason I bought this sulfamic acid was to clean my distiller. As far as the dilution, it's really a matter of trial and error, since the hard caked on mineral deposits vary from water source to water source. Simply put; if your tired of scrubbing caked on mineral deposits in your home water distiller, this is for you. If you do buy it, find the mix ratio that works best for you and let it soak some.

Yes it can if the distillation unit is stainless steel. Use at recommended rate. Usually a tablespoon per gallon of water is sufficient. Rinse everything very thoroughly afterwards. Typically a triple rinse will statistically remove all residue left over. Remove and discard carbon filter on output side if you have one after descaling. We use this in our laboratory distillation unit and it works very well.

This product is "ready to use" - don't dilute. A Once 'n Done "concentrate" is also available, which must be diluted.

I only use distilled water. There is an element that can be cleaned, so I would assume if you took a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol and cleaned it every few days it would be okay.

It can be diluted for cleaning 50-50. As an herbicide it needs to be used full strength. Just wear gloves the acidity is hard on the skin and will burn.

Personally I'd put it on full strength. I am unsure of the purpose of the citrus solvent other than a specific odor. I just don't like the idea of diluting the product, as I like it to do the job intended. However I know you can add solvents which dissipate over time.

I only use 91% rubbing alcohol and have never had any problem with that. If the CND scrub is that high in alcohol it will work too i would think.

I don't see why not as long as you dilute it. This product is for multiple surfaces.

LindaI use this with dishwasher detergent - recipe is 50% Calgon and 50% Cascade - powder of course! This was recommended by an older gentleman who repaired my dishwasher years ago. It saves your pipes, tubing and items in the dishwasher.I think it would be fine for your coffee machine as well - diluted perhaps in a solution. I would contact Calgon & ask specifically.

Yes, with distilled or purified water. Remember DMSO grabs stuff and quickly brings it into the body so you don't want to take in any toxins from regular tap water. Dilute at a minimum 50/50. More typical use is at 70%-75% water.

I have been using mine in parts cleaning solvent (mineral spirits) for some time and have also used a water based cleaner. It has worked since I purchased it last spring.

Tom: yes , thats the reason I purchased it. It works very well for cleaning parts. However.... It is mixed with water so it tends to evaporate alittle so the water needs to be added occasionally and metal parts cleaned should be dried off ASAP after cleaning to avoid oxidation. Hope this helped. Works good & You can adjust the dilution rate.

Of the stuff you're putting into the still you need a triple scale hydrometer and if it's for after got the stuff you already distilled you need a proofing hydrometer to let you know what the proof is and in turn the percentage of alcohol is in it

I use it full strength in a spray bottle. Don't know how it would work in a diluted form. It is excellent cleaner especially for greasy jobs.

I do think a diluted mix would work. It is really powerful stuff. I would follow directions on bottle and try a Small corner first but I think it would work

with the cleaner you can dilute what you get for the spray bottle. you can cut that bottle 4 times. I my self dilute it 5:1 and it is way sufficient and the condition is the same way but just a lil of it will go along way as well. I hope that this helps you with your cleaning issues.

I haven't bought the burner yet since I'm waiting for someone else to confirm how much you can boil with it! I have my first extract kit waiting on the shelf for the new year. An acquaintance is going to come over and walk me through the process. I expect we'll do the same thing you are start with a half-portion and dilute it.I make hard cider, so the only high-cost item I had to buy was a wort cooler. Please let me know how the burner performs! I'd like to be able to do some of the work out of the kitchen...Al

I do not use distilled water. I use tap water. It uses about 2oz, it doesn't seem to damage my machine.
