How to remove scale from a water dispenser

Water dispenser is a drinking water appliance, which is equipped in every family life. However, not everyone can pay attention to clean the water dispenser regularly. Sometimes, there is a lot of scale in the water dispenser, which has a great impact on the health of drinking water. Now, let me recommend to you some effective methods and techniques for removing scale from water dispensers.

The first step is to drain any remaining water from the dispenser cavity. However, when we open the tap of the water dispenser, we can only release a small amount of water, so this method has great shortcomings. Correct approach: First open the drain pipe behind the water dispenser and drain the remaining water. Because the residual water in the sewage pipe is the key to secondary pollution of the water dispenser, then, turn on all the drinking water switches to drain the water.

Step 2: Use tweezers to hold the alcohol cotton and carefully wipe the inside and outside of the water dispenser tank and lid. Expert analysis: These parts of the water dispenser are in direct contact with the air and are prone to accumulate bacteria. Wiping with alcohol can remove the dirt on it and prepare for the next step of disinfection.

Step 3: Pour 300 ml of multi-purpose disinfectant into the inner tank of the water dispenser and soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Expert analysis: The capacity of the water dispenser cavity is about 2 liters. A mere 300 ml of disinfectant can only disinfect the extremely limited inner space of the water dispenser. Such disinfection is ineffective. Correct method: Dissolve 300 ml of disinfectant in about 2 liters of water, then fill the entire cavity and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes. Step 4: Turn on the drinking water switch and drain the disinfectant. Expert analysis: As mentioned above, the drinking water valve can only release a part of the disinfectant, and most of it remains in the cavity. If it is not completely discharged, it will become a new source of water pollution. Correct approach: Open all switches of the water dispenser, including the sewage pipe and drinking water switch, and drain the disinfectant. Step 5: Rinse the entire water dispenser cavity with 1000 ml of clean water, and then turn on all switches of the water dispenser to drain the water.

Maybe when drinking water, many people have not paid attention to the cleaning of the water dispenser. However, these details are closely related to one's own drinking water health. Therefore, it is recommended that every friend should pay attention to regularly removing the scale in the water dispenser in daily life.
