The CLR did not go through the system. It has a harsh warning on the label NOT to use it with Brass, Copper, or Aluminum. Some people have used it without a problem, others have not ... I'm not gonna take the risk on ruining 3 waterblocks and potentially my system.
The showerhead, however, I let sit in CLR for a few minutes as directed on the bottle. I didn't find it necessary however, as the pine-sol and lysol mix (10% lysol, 40% pine-sol, 50% hot water) did the job just fine, and in barely any time.
Before and after shots would be a bit pointless in my application ... the stuff was just a thin film on the hoses, but the real problem was in the showerhead I believe ... as well as inside some of the waterblocks. I shoulda gotten a shot of all the shit stripping off the hose walls and coming through the blocks though, LOL there was a lot of material in there that I got out.
