I have a BRS 1.1 mL doser that doses kalk to my tank from 30 feet away through some John Guest 1/4th inch RO tubing

I have no idea if the line has any build up in it as it is in the wall.

Do you guys think flushing the line with muriatic acid through the BRS 1.1 mL/hr doser would help?

Thanks

I could. But I'd try diluting the muriatic acid by 50% the first time. Diluting it at 10:1 makes it the same as vinegar.

I expect it would get it clean as a whistle

I flush mine once a year with diluted muriatic acid 10:1. Dosing lines have always been relatively clean, it’s the awc lines that get buildup for me. I’m using rodi lines through the walls as well.
