Ian,
You wouldn't be picking on Kenny's spelling would you?

According to dictionary.com,

as·cet·ic
      1. a person who dedicates his or her life to a pursuit of
contemplative ideals and practices extreme self-denial or self-mortification
for religious reasons.

      whereas

      a·ce·tic
            pertaining to, derived from, or producing vinegar or acetic
acid.



      Tongue firmly in cheek,

      JohnP

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.

Regards,

IDP
