MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE BOILING TANK
Drain the boiling tank following each 10 gallons of water distilled. Simply place a bucket under
the impurities drain tube and turn the valve to release impurities.
Every two weeks take a good look inside the boiling tank. If there is a build up of scale on the
sides of the boiling tank, then use the descaler provided to clean the tank as follows:
1. Unplug distiller from the wall.
2. Fill the boiling tank half full with hot tap water.
3. Slowly add 3 tablespoons of descaler.
4. Mix well to dissolve the descaler.
5. Fill up the remaining portion of the boiling tank with hot water to bottom of water gauge pin.
6. Let solution stand overnight.
7. The next morning or when mineral content is soft, drain the boiling tank.
8. Repeat cleaning if necessary.
9. If all scale has been removed, rinse boiler several times with warm tap water. Now in
preparation to produce pure water again, repeat the steam sterilization process as
instructed earlier.
NOTE: Descaler is a corrosive and poisonous substance. Read safety precautions on
package. As you place descaler in your tank it will produce a bubbling foam substance.
Do not overfill. Always leave boiling lid off when ever the boiling tank is being descaled
to reduce fumes travelling through the cooling coil. Dispose of 1
st batch of distilled
water following descaling procedure.
CHARCOAL REPLACEMENT
Replace charcoal in filter canister every two months or following every 100 gallons of distilled
water. Remove the filter from the distiller and discard the used charcoal. Fill 2/3 of charcoal
canister with new coconut charcoal. Rinse a few times with distilled water to remove any
charcoal dust. Insert canister into storage tank filter opening and place distiller head back on
storage tank.
