I doubt vinegar will help in this case

Distilled white vinegar WILL work. However, since you've already
decided
against trying it, go ahead and clean out the system with muriatic acid.
Then use white vinegar weekly to PREVENT it from recurring...unless
you've already decided against trying that too.

Using muriatic acid reminds me of the gentleman that came into the
dealership to inquire how much new carpet and rear seats would cost after a
gallon spilled in the back seat of his BMW

Greener Cleaning the head with vinegar is simple and effective. Cleaning
with muriatic acid (aka hydrochloric acid HCI) is a great way to expose
yourself to a very hazardous compound, NEVER add water to muriatic acid!!!.
Or POOOOffffffffffffffff
The cheaper distilled white vinegar, available at your local supermarket,
it's the best type to use for cleaning. The acetic acid in vinegar is an
effective disinfectant, deodorizer, and cleaner which will cut grease and
soap scum, dissolve mineral buildup, and inhibit mold and bacteria growth.
Add salt to help sanitize and dissolve tarnish.
Add Baking soda to absorb odors and act as a mild abrasive
Add Hydrogen Peroxide to help disinfect.
Muriatic acid;
Add chlorine bleach to make "mustard gas" very un-popular in wwI,II,Iraq...
You're kidding right?? Try mixing some vinegar and baking soda and see what
happens... WHOOSH! The baking soda will neutralize the vinegar and foam up
like crazy! Without sitting down and looking at the reactions, I wouldn't
know what the salt would do, and the peroxide would do some funky stuff as
well.
Please don't go around mixing chemicals willy-nilly unless you know what
will happen!

Do not eat natural foods. I used to eat a lot of natural foods until
learned that most people die of natural causes.

I don't understand this comment. Could you explain more?
I have used muriatic acid for years to clean construction projects
like....new brick after laying, concrete, and grout in tile.
I have always added the acid to the water, to dilute before using. I am sure
the bottle says to dilute with water before using.
Like the instructions/warnings say..do not breath it, or get it in your
eyes..if you do flush it with water...lots.

Oh yeah, I forgot about pouring muriatic acid in the swimming pool to adjust
the ph factor of the pool water.

It's not the fact that you cannot blend acid and water, it is the
sequence of addition. Combining the 2 is an exothermic reaction. Add
water to acid, rather than the reverse and it can splatter acid back at
you. Not pleasant. Note than in both your examples you added acid to
water (not the reverse) as dc indicated was proper.
