I use CITRIC ACID (comes in powder form) they are 6 oz bottles available at Walmart in the canning section -it is added as a preservative.

However it is a mild -natural -bio degradable acid and it is CHEAP!

Use about 3 bottles for 5 gallons of HOT WATER... it works EXACTLY like evaporust - smells the same and turns dark yellow after using it.

Each bottle of powder is less than $2.00 locally.

Default Ball Citric Acid Powder

Picked up a 14.8 oz container of the Ball citric acid powder ($6.00) at Walmart in the canning aisle . Experimented with two teaspoons in a tall glass of water and some badly rusted examples. Amazing how fast the stuff worked. Have used lemon juice, white vinegar, evaporust and molasses in the past. Thank you for the tip James!
