yes, watered down rocket fuel, it will eat the chrome off and make pretty little flakes, I use it often.

Not as a normal household type of work I suppose. What do you do when you do it? Explain please, I'm curious. Got a link to a vid?

The stuffs color is dark grey, swiped some of it out with a que-tip from the bottom of the res to check. Also it seems to not increase in amount anymore.
I found a drug store that sells distilled water here btw, a tad expensive though at $3 for 0,5 litres.
What i haven't found is a place that sells phn nuke or simillar biocide, will have to order online.

don't need a vid, chuck a piece of chromed metal in the 3% household stuff and and let it set a month, the 90% stuff I use is much faster.
we use it at the shop, cars come with stuff chromed and people will want it painted and some like the copper under the chrome.
chrome plating is really nickle plating, the chrome is a clear top coat like the clearcoat on your car paint, household bleach will do a better job around the house but it's a little harder to dispose of.

Can you get deionized or know of a place with a good Reverse Osmosis setup?
That is pretty pricey. Glad you found some though.

Ohh cleaning the res.... Fill 1/4 way with uncooked rice, fill with water 3/4 of the way and a bit of dishsoap. Shake like crazy for a minute or two, rinse.

Rice?
Good tip didn't think of using rice (or maybe bulgur, smaller and round?) to clean it.
Was planning to take it apart and clean with isopropyl and new toothbrush.

NOOO Alcohol on acrylic. It will cause cracks called 'crazing'.
