Damn it looks like a brand new machine!! Aren't there internal components that the acid could harm though? Would that type of treatment be safe for the pump and seal? I used that stuff on the pool's tile grout, and that stuff would just dissolve.

Wow - unbelievable. I must say, some determination and a few beers can go a long way!

well so far so good

Just finished running 2 complete cycles, Andrew, one with detergent and one without and no leaks in the pump.
I did mess up one section of the fine strainer by getting undiluted acid on it. I put in maybe a half quart of acid to about a gallon of water and let it pump thru for about a half hour or so and these were the results! I will change out the pump top in a day or two.
Remember, the shaft seals are made to withtand the chemicals in the detergents as well as an occasional Lime a Way treatment. The seals are the same material as on the commercial units.

And it was simply determination and no beers! Hate the taste.

Now to decide what to do with it and soon!
This and the others may be all up for sale soon!
