Cleaning step 1: Unplug the power plug and take out the bucket. Remove any remaining water from the cavity of the dispenser.

Cleaning step 2: Hold the sterilized alcohol cotton ball with clean tweezers, and carefully scrub the "smart seat" of the water dispenser. Usually these parts of the water dispenser are in direct contact with the air and are prone to accumulation of bacteria. Scrub with sterilized alcohol cotton, which can not only remove the dirt on it, but also prepare for the next step of disinfection.

Cleaning step 3: The cavity capacity of the general household water dispenser is about 2000ml, so dissolve 300ml of disinfectant in about 2000ml of water, then fill the entire cavity, and turn on drinking water after 10-15 minutes Machines, including sewage pipes and drinking water, are switched to discharge disinfectants.

Cleaning step 4: Continuously rinse the entire cavity of the water dispenser with 7000-8000 ml of clean water, then turn on all switches to drain the rinse fluid.

Cleaning step 5: Scrub the rear wall of the water dispenser faucet switch with a sterilized alcohol cotton pad.

Cleaning step 6: Since the water dispenser has just been sterilized, there may be a small amount of disinfectant remaining, which cannot be drunk immediately.

Misunderstanding of water dispenser cleaning

Misunderstanding 1: The water dispenser can heat, cool, and flow out water without any problem.

This just shows that there is no problem with the use of the water dispenser. Due to human health concerns, water dispensers require regular maintenance (disinfection and cleaning).

Misunderstanding 2: Often wash with dish soap and it will be clean

Try the water dispenser with detergent or other cleaning agents, just to clean the appearance of the water dispenser, and the core part of the water dispenser that really involves water is the hot water tank, cold water tank and connecting pipes hidden in the water dispenser. This is a very easy place to create sediment and breed bacteria and viruses.

Misunderstanding 3: Bacteria and viruses can be killed by soaking and rinsing in hot boiling water

Soaking and rinsing with hot water kills only a very small number of bacteria. Water dispensers need to use highly targeted special disinfectants, and there are strict regulations and requirements for their usage and soaking time. It is best to use the ozone disinfection method.

Myth 4: Only wash when there is odor or foreign matter in the water

The water dispenser is in normal use, depending on the quality of the drinking water. 2-3 months should be comprehensive disinfection and descaling cleaning.

Misunderstanding 5: If there is a water delivery station or bottled water factory for free cleaning (traditional tablet cleaning), you can sit back and relax

The traditional drug cleaning method cannot achieve the effect of descaling and disinfection, and most manufacturers use water delivery personnel for cleaning without professional training and professional water dispenser cleaning equipment, which will cause secondary pollution to the water dispenser.
