Sulfamic Acid, H3NSO3. I buy "Kenmore Distiller Cleaner", cat number 42-
34543, from Sears in a 12 oz bottle of crystals. Works great on coffee
pots as well as my water distiller. It simply eats elemental calcium
depots off stainless steel or aluminum. DON'T GET ANY ON YOU or you'll be
sorry!

It's in the family with acids used as sweeteners, as you'll read from the
Wikipedia site:
