    Is Vinegar Good for Desalinating Purposes ?

    The answer is a Resounding NO, did not even tickle. So had to scrape manually the thermo cover interior, spring and valve the best as possible for more than an hour.

    Clearing salt build up from block

    Gee, just realized it was you QBhoy who posted. But then the whole thing got blocked up internally somewhere. So no need to clear it seriously.
