Go to Pattersons in Bristol, or your local wholesale supplier of
cleaning stuff to hotels etc. They have stuff far pokier than the
domestic retail grade.
Basically you want sulphamic acid to dissolve the scale.


Yep - I use Furnox DS-3 which is sulphamic acid with a colour
indicator added so you can tell when it's exhausted.
Used to be available from plumbers merchants in large tubs,
but few stock it now (although they will order it in).
I get it from BES.
