mandude Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have found that my hookah chamber (part where the smoke is pulled from the water) has rust inside it. What can I do about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 You can also use Naval Jelly. Just wash really well. You can get at just about any hardware store. Original designed for taking rust off of Naval Ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydivemd Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I have had luck using a phosphobronze brush and barkeeper's friend to remove rust from inside a hookah stem.Zip on over to walmart (aka the surplus devil) and go to the sporting goods section. Get yourself a "universal" gun cleaning kit. Make sure it has either a .45 caliber or (better yet!) a 20 gauge shotgun brush in it.Then head over to cleaning supplies and get a canister of the barkeeper's friend (powder).Make a very thick slurry with the powder and apply liberally to the brush. Ram it in and out of the stem until your arm is tired. Rinse. Clean out with some dish soap or baking soda/lemon juice and rinse very, very liberally with clean water.Voila, rust is gone.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinspoon Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 To protect it i'll take some polish for metal and run it a couple times. The oils in the polish will prevent it from rusting for a little bit. Make sure you rinse it out nice after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, the chamber is only accessible through the hose adapter or two little holes paralel to the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
