help with cleaning the moka pot

I have been using a Bialetti Moka pot for almost a year now. What an amazing coffee maker. Even got my wife addicted to it. For the last few months I have been having several black deposits building in the water chamber. I have scrubbed and used all kinds of soap trying to clean this off with little success. It doesn't seem to affect the coffee at all but its appearance bothers me. I have been thinking about using CLR to see if it would take it off but I am concerned about it damaging the aluminum. Has anybody else saw this? Will CLR damage it?
Thanks
Dave
