There is also a product called lime off or lime away
which works too. When I have enough time I use the
vinegar method. When I use muriatic acid I do it
outdoors in a garbage can that I lock...I can get up
to a 20 long in this garbage can. When done I add
baking soda to the water to neutralize the remaining
muriatic acid. I use the same type of bath for glass
tops, submersible heaters, and internal
filters...works great for me.
