Can this be used with a cleaning solution of vinegar and water?

Oh yes, totally! This is a pure essential oil, not a fragrance oil. You can use it to clean or on your person (mixed with a carrier oil).

I have used Vinegar to clean a steam water distiller. My guess it that Citric acid will wherever the calcium build up is, and will dissolve it. I am going to use it to clean Calcium deposits in my dishwasher jets.

I have never used any cleaners in my unit, but I don't see why you could not since there is an optional disinfecting product available. See the comment about diluting the cleaner, though. I think it would need to be very diluted in order to not clog the steam holes.

It would help clear deposits, but I think vinegar would work faster and better.

I'm not sure, I've never tried it. I always use equal parts water and white vinegar on my microfiber couch.

One recommendation would be to circulate a mild cleaning solution (white vinegar), to help control scale buildup.

i would pump apple cider vinegar and water through it, that should suffice. or even bleach and water, depends on what you use it for. mine works great.

I used it to try to clean a Keurig style brewer. It did not work for me. I started with the same conundrum as you, but ended up dumping it all in to the final attempt. No help at all... I used the old school white wine vinegar to better results. So, in answer to your question, I don't think it makes too much of a difference. You might waste some of the Brew Rite cleaner with a slightly stronger solution, but I don't think you'll harm anything.

I bought this for a friend, but she said she adds a little vinegar to the water which seems to clean off the deposits.

Well, I'm not sure why you would have to use either when just soap and water should work. If there are mineral deposits in it due to hard water then I've always heard that letting it soak in vinegar and water works well. Hope that helps.

One can use vinegar, but depending on water hardness you may need something else to clean it with.

A little vinegar works well. Just wash/rinse well afterwards before refilling.

A starter supply of the water treatment was included, but not the cleaner. Haven't really found a need for cleaner yet and I suspect vinegar will work fine.

you should always clean something new. ,vinegar and water rinse a couple of times.

you can run vinegar through it than run with clear water, instructions are in the booklet, but that only needs to be done maybe once a month or so.

I like the vinegar and water idea below. I use vinegar for all my cleaning... Except cleaning dishes in the dishwasher lol
