I use about 200ml of vinegar for 10l of water, soak for 2-3 days and remove from scrubbing.

I didn't mix with water. Soak the pump with vinegar in pail. Overnight, remove the pump rinse with water. You will observe most Ca deposit will hv gone or detach..

Get 5 liter bottle cheaper ~4 gold coin..

You can recycle used vinegar. Using filter bag and funnel to remove the dirts & residual. I kept mine more than 2 years.

I used the commercial packing of Heinz - buy from my friend who owns a restaurant. Vinegar is commonly used to wash and disinfect kitchen.

ehh pardon newbie me butting in but why must remove calcium deposit ar?

[brojj]

To clean more thoroughly. Some calcium deposit bond some part of the equipment together, unable to open cover to clean. It could build up inside moving/ rotating parts also, causing failure or efficiency to drop over time. Some juz dun like & wanted to clean very cleaned. Some re sharp & injure u.
