I never bother de-scaling, our club uses rain water and that is acidic
anyway, just need to wash out with clean water every 6 months.
I have heard of the acetic acid in the tender treatment, but never had the
need to try it. In Birmingham, we have the softest water in the country,
straight from the Elan Valley in Wales, never de-scaled a kettle yet....
Including a railway kettle!!

Kenny,
I assume you mean de-scaling! Citric acid is okay as is Ascetic just let
it do its stuff and wash out well afterwards. I know of one model engineer
who treats his feed water by adding a tea spoon of Ascetic acid to every
tender full of water. Never tried it myself but the M.E. in question swears
by it. His exhaust steam stinks a bit though.

IDP
