Cleaning swamp cooler
I've started cleaning my cooler for the summer. First thing, clean out the calcium in the water pan. I scraped off the soft stuff but there's a 1/4" layer of hard calcium in part of the water reservoir (sp?). A putty knife isn't doing much good in some places. I poured some Lime Away on a portion of it to see if it helps; so far it doesn't. I have some "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner. I think it's weak hydrochloric acid. I've always used a "Fresh Air' white block in the cooler water that's supposed to neutralize the calcium in my well water. I also use that mesh bag of something that's supposed to do the same. Past years these have worked but not last year for some reason. Harder well water? Any suggestions? TIA -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |
