    Default Using Flushed Acid

    As I was flushing out the acid from the membrane, I wondered if I could have sent the discharge to the pans for scale removal. Has anyone tried that?

    How did it go? Are you letting them soak?

    I let it soak for a few days. Once there was enough in my pans (3x12) it was pretty diluted pH 5. So I ended up adding some liquid pan cleaner.
