Destroyer, I forgot about the string test, I will do that plus clean them too, should I put the viniger in the hot water? Or clean them with pure white vinegar? I will do the string test first then clean them ,

I'd put the vinegar right into the hot water. The boiling point of straight vinegar is 213F. Diluting it in water will bring it even closer to the 212F of pure water. For the purposes of the string test that's a non-existent difference. Just run the test normally to observe at what degree your t-stats open, turn off the heat and let them soak for a while.

Won't even SS stats eventually get coated with minerals from the water and stop working?
