Be careful about soaking anything in de-scaler if it contains plastic

Might white vinegar be better? Not quite as fast on the scale, but
gentler on the plastics perhaps?

I'd love to know. The old Rover has a screen washer jet which produces a
fine fan like spray. Works beautifully when clean, but the factory
obviously hadn't heard of hard water. It just unclips easily so I have a
spare which I clean with de-scaler. But left it in that for a couple of
days and it melted. The body is PVC or similar.
