My cheapie $6 water clock stopped working. It had lasted 4-5 years, so I figured it was time to let it RIP. My wife suggested trying vinegar. So I substituted pure vinegar for the water and let it set. Crud started falling off the contacts and after a few hours it was going again. I dumped the vinegar, rinsed the water container, and refilled with plain water and a dash of salt. It's been keeping perfect time the last 24 hours.

I have a friend who drinks raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar. He thinks its the cure for all ailments.
The water clock is pretty cool BTW. Resisting impulse temptations.
