I have purchased some food grade citric acid to clean my Truma boiler. Can anyone help with how much to put in per litre?
odd , most are out of stock..Can't seem to buy Aquastar anywhere though!

I'm not sure why it is necessary to fill the fresh water tank with the citric acid solution if the aim is just to descale the boiler. I bought 500g of citric acid from a home brew shop today and will dilute that with water. This should give enough to fill the boiler easily.
I understand you would want to fill the water tank if sterilising it with aquastar 2 but not if just descaling.

I'd be very wary of using anything other than products approved by Truma.. ie Citric acid or Truma Aqustar 1+2 ..
Vinegar ..
from Truma information
Vinegar
Vinegar is produced by fermenting alcoholic liquids with acetic acid bacteria (Mycoderma aceti). Vinegar is a descaling agent due to its acid content, but it leaves behind an unpleasant taste which adheres to plastics and rubber and is very difficult to remove. Vinegar is not suitable for descaling drinking water systems in mobile homes, as it attacks rubber seals and even some metals.

I drained the fresh water tank and boiler. Then added the mixture to the fresh water tank using a watering can. Then turn on water pump and open taps until air is driven out. I collected the water coming out of the taps in a jug and returned it to the fresh water tank with the watering can as I only made up 12 litres and I was worried the tank would run dry.I aint looked or searched for info so 'scuse question..

Mine has a Webasto and they recommend vinegar at a ratio of 1:2 with water.
The problem is you need quite a lot of vinegar so I'm going to see if I can buy some of the stuff chip shops pass of as vinegar as it should be cheaper in bulk. Chemically it will be the same - ascetic acid.

if that's easier.. why not..Thinking??. My pump is under the bed-box, disconnect outlet pipe, connect to Spare pump used for topping-up tank from aquaroll, put de-scaler in Aqua-roll and pump into boiler and leave?, sound like a plan?, drain using the (boiler) "dump" valve for cold snaps?.
Anyone see the flaws?
