Descaling the CC Basic™

Cat. No. 01021819
CC Basic™ units using an RO configuration should rarely need to be descaled.
A unit with the hot water option may require removing any calcium build-up inside the hot tank,
depending on local water conditions and the type of water treatment.
All personnel should be aware of company requirements for their own cleanliness and hygiene when
servicing and sanitizing a unit.
Latex gloves must be used when handling the filters, UV bulb, quartz sleeve or any components that
have contact with the drinking water.
