Plugged aeration stone

Post by DrDually »

I have been struggling to unclog two stones with no success...that is until today
Tried boiling several times, also used PBW...both with no change in stone
Then tried full strength CLR with a 10 minute soak and it worked wonders. Both stones now work properly.
Do forget to rinse more than once

Good to know. You also might want to put those in the pressure cooker for 10 minutes or so to make sure anything living in there is killed off.
