Heater covered in coraline

CaptainK · 08-27-2002, 07:49 AM

Hi All,
My heater has become almost completely covered in coraline algae. With the winter months coming upon us I would like to get this coraline removed. I would rather not do any scraping on the heater to avoid breaking it. Would it be harmful to dip the heater in a solution to remove the coraline? I think it is vinegar and water, but not sure how much of each or if this would damage it?

Thanks

Soaking the bulb in vinager won't hurt it. I use prue vinager to clean up calcium carbonate without any damage.
