monthly cleaning
nOte: frequency of cleaning is determined by
water conditions, usage, and water filter systems.

deposits. if deposits have formed, carefully flex
the tube so the deposits crumble and fall out,
making sure not to create any sharp bends in the
tube.

overnight in a vinegar solution to dissolve the
remaining deposits.
