Have not found that to be true...
In Response To: But don't leave the vinegar sitting in the pump long-term -- it curls rubber parts. ()

Peggie told me that a while ago, so I tried a rubber part from a Whale/Henderson pump in regular white vinegar (5%).

No swelling or distortion noticed over five days.

Is it possible your parts were already curled ?

Also, Peggie said to use only white vinegar, but we used whatever was cheapest with no ill effects.

Cheers,
John.
