I thawed out the half gal bottle, that had about a quart of water /
ice in it. There was less preciptate than I was used to seeing. And it
was more "stringy" instead of flakes. The 20 ounce soda bottles
earlier this year, it was more like flakes.

This time, it was as if someone had put fiberglas in a blender, and
cut it up really short. No change with vinegar added.

The solution to the problem might be to figure out if the crud is
chemical or
microbial. Then disconnect the hose and give it a good soaking and
cleaning (or
buy a replacement). If the crud is chemical, use undiluted vinegar.
If it is
microbial, use some clorox, 1/2 cup to a gallon of water.
