If your like many, over time the threads on the flange to your kalkwasser reactor may become saturated with Kalk liquid. This liquid over time will add a layer of dried kalk paste to threads preventing you from turning the dreaded plastic screws down on the lid with ease. Eventually they will become fused in the lid or you will not be able to fasten the lid down tight which could cause leaks...
I found an easy remedy for this that allows you to keep the unit in it's natural service position. No need to break the unit down to soak the top in a acid based solution. (white vinegar/ or lemon juice)
You will need cotton swabs, distilled vinegar or lemon juice, & some petroleum jelly.
I take the cotton swabs & dunk them into the vinegar jar as follows. (make sure you get them nice & saturated)
