03QuestionsBefore you order

Before you order.

Straight answers. Anything else, email support@thinkcrucial.com.

Q.01How many uses?

8 full-tank doses per 16 fl oz bottle, a two-year supply at quarterly use.

Q.02Why not a drop-in tablet?

Bleach doesn't dissolve minerals. The brown ring and white collar at the waterline are calcium carbonate and iron, which citric acid dissolves in a 30-minute soak.

Q.03Does it turn the water blue?

No. There's no blue dye and no bleach.

Q.04What if it doesn't work with my machine?

If it doesn't work with the machine we list, email support@thinkcrucial.com and we'll refund it. You don't need to send it back. Unopened bottles can also be returned within 30 days of delivery.

Q.05Is there a subscription?

No. You buy when you need it. Nothing renews and nothing auto-ships.

Q.06When will it arrive?

Free U.S. shipping on every order, from a U.S. warehouse. Ships the same business day when ordered by 2pm ET. Arrives in 2–5 business days.

04Who makes this

We make what we sell.

Think Crucial started in 2007 at a family vacuum repair shop. Today we're a U.S. company in Hollywood, Florida, making descalers and cleaners for the appliances you already own, alongside our aftermarket filters, bags and parts. Each bottle says which machines it's for and how much to use.
