Cleaning
Tanks
– Clean both water tanks every week with soap and water, inside and out. When
cleaning, be sure to release soapy water from spout and tank valves on the bottom of
each tank. This can be done by pressing the dispense button and spring-loaded white
pin at the bottom of the tank.
Please note:
Sometimes it might be necessary to let the tanks dry for a couple of
hours before use.
Mineral Scale Deposit in Tap Water Tank
If you live in an area with hard water, you might see white scale deposits in the tap
water tank. It is important that you always make sure that you keep your tap water tank
free of scale deposits by washing the tap water thoroughly with dish soap and water
as instructed and once per week. If you are not able to remove the deposit with water
and dish soap, we recommend you use a solution of warm water and one AquaTru
Descaling Powder packet. Let the tank soak for 1 hour before you scrub the inside of the
tank, and the wash tank valve with a soft non-abrasive sponge before washing with
soap and water. Make sure that you remove all of the scale deposits in both the tank
and the valves that are inside the bottom of the tank.
Algae in the Water Tanks
In order to avoid algae from growing in the tap water and clean water tanks, you need
to wash them weekly and keep AquaTru away from heat sources and direct sunlight. In
case of algae growth, we suggest that you soak the tanks in a bleach solution for 1 hour
before washing with soap and water.
Unit/Base
– Clean the outside of the unit using a non-abrasive sponge or towel with
soap and water. To avoid water spots; use a clean drying towel to thoroughly dry all
surfaces of the AquaTru.
Please note:
During normal use, small amounts of water may occasionally leak from
valves. Use a dry towel to soak up any spillage before reinstalling tanks.
