Does anyone have any bright ideas about how to get rid of the lime-scale that builds up on the plastic tube which goes into the water container on my concentrator...at the moment I rub it off with my fingers, but that must be germy even if my hands are clean...the bottom of the little tube has a tiny grill...it's that which is really clogged up.
We do have seriously hard water with living on limestone karst...
Good for caves, but not so good for household appliances. I bought a little gadget thingy to put in the kettle...it's really just a screwed up bit of wire...supposed to attract the lime-scale but it doesn't...
Something else which it affects is my nebuliser...nothing is added to that apart from the medication...salbutamol and ipratropium bromide...I've noticed lime scale building up around the tubing where it enters the machine...
The kettle is fairly easily solved by boiling vinegar in it every now and then but I can hardly boil the oxygen tube or the nebuliser...
All suggestions gratefully received...unless they're a bit smutty...lol
I use Softalind -pure alcool for my nebuliser kit for the same reason. I put some on my hand and rub it on the kit. This is a virucidal liquid used in hospital (the green bottle they hang on the wall to cleanse the hands. Mic
