Locline - an observation

[LilRobb]

Recently purchased some brand new locline, 3/4".
had it used for about 2-3months on a system before I removed it.

One piece was bend to the closest radius, the other was left straight - both went into a bucklet with a 10% muriatic acid solution for cleaning.

when removed 15minutes later the bent one had every single socket cracked and was essentially unusable - the straight one remained intact.

Curious how I am, I bent the straight one and put it back into the solution.
5 minutes later - cracked.

So watch out when cleaning your loclines!

PERFECT timing, Im going home to give all my eductors and locline an acid bath.

BTW if you need replacements let me know, I have a bunch of 3/4"

ha, perfect - and your other request is still pending, there is a language barrier for sure...

Use vinegar....no cracking issues with it. Love muriatic acid for cleaning WC containers.

What's a "WC container"?

[PFCDeitz]

Water change

Yep, vinegar works and doesn't damage the plastic.

Seachem suggest using Acid Buffer to clean WC containers - I haven't tried that yet but I'm going to next time we de-scale the saltwater vat.

Bleach won't crack it, but will turn it to a "lovely" slate gray color, just FYI.
