Use this for my water distiller works great

We use a distillation for all our water. We have very hard water and scale can build up fast. Every few months we use this to keep clean and shinny If we let it build up, it will break the machine. So, this saves us a lot more than it costs.

This will clean your distilled water maker very well. The directions say to leave it the cleaner/water standing overnight (paraphrasing) but I've found that if you put boiling water and the cleaner into the machine and use a scrub brush it will clean it just as well and much faster. Always add the cleaner to the water, but never the water to the cleaner. I would also use it in a well ventilated area as you don't want to inhale any of the dust of the crystals or any gas that is created when it comes in contact with the water. I use distilled water for my C-PAP machine and in humidifiers throughout my house, especially in the winter.

If I'd known how well this stuff worked, I would have taken before and after pics. I bought it to clean my water distiller. The cleaner that came with the distiller took two rounds at the high end of the recommended mix to come decently clean. I got this on subscribe and save to save on cost, so there wound up being more build up than usual. Except for a single small stubborn spot on the bottom and the tiny bit above where we filled it (which obviously doesn't count), the distiller legit looks new. We did follow the instructions of the original cleaner with the amount recommended on this one. The original cleaner said to remove the distiller top, add water and the powder, and turn the distiller on and bring to a boil for 30 minutes. I will do my best to remember to get before and after pics next time to update this review with.

This works great in my water distiller. Just add warm water into distiller. Add a couple tablespoons of this product. Let it sit overnight-- eliminates all calcium buildup!!
