Cloudy Star San

Post by floydmeddler » Mon Dec 07, 2009 7:28 pm

I've made up 2L of Star San solution using ASDA Smart Price water as advised on a few other posts. It immediately went cloudy. :shock: Does that mean it's knackered?

Apparently it should be clear when used, I have never had it completely go clear though.

Right, have bought some Volvic Still Water and it seems to have done the trick. calcium level is only 11.5.

Sorted!

I use deionized water from the motor spares shop. Mix up a solution in a spray bottle, and it lasts for ages.
