Choose the right water source
It is crucial to reduce the formation of scale from the source. If you use bottled water, try to choose high-quality purified water or deeply treated bottled water. This type of water has low mineral content such as calcium and magnesium, which can effectively reduce the possibility of scale formation. If you use direct drinking water, you can install a professional pre-filter and reverse osmosis water purifier to pre-treat and deeply purify the tap water, remove most of the impurities and minerals in the water, provide a purer water source for the Countertop Water Dispenser, and fundamentally reduce the formation of scale.
Clean the Countertop Water Dispenser regularly
Regularly cleaning the Countertop Water Dispenser is one of the important measures to solve the scale problem. Every 1-2 months, unplug the Countertop Water Dispenser, turn off the water source, and then drain all the remaining water in the Countertop Water Dispenser. Next, use white vinegar and water in a ratio of 1:10 to make a cleaning solution, pour it into the water tank and liner of the Countertop Water Dispenser, and soak for 1-2 hours. The acidic components in white vinegar can effectively dissolve scale. After soaking, rinse the Countertop Water Dispenser repeatedly with clean water until the rinse water is free of odor and impurities. This can effectively remove the scale that has formed inside the Countertop Water Dispenser.
Use descaling agent
There are descaling agents specifically for Countertop Water Dispensers on the market. According to the instructions for use of the descaling agent, dissolve an appropriate amount of descaling agent in water, then pour the solution into the water tank and liner of the Countertop Water Dispenser, turn on the heating or cooling function of the Countertop Water Dispenser, and let the solution circulate in the Countertop Water Dispenser for a period of time, usually about 15-30 minutes. The chemical components in the descaling agent can quickly decompose scale. After that, empty the solution in the Countertop Water Dispenser and rinse it with clean water. When using a descaling agent, be sure to choose a product that is reliable in quality and meets safety standards, and use it strictly in accordance with the instructions to avoid damage to the Countertop Water Dispenser.
Install a water softener
For areas where scale is a serious problem, consider installing a water softener before the water source enters the Countertop Water Dispenser. The water softener removes calcium and magnesium ions from the water through ion exchange resins, converting hard water into soft water, thereby greatly reducing the formation of scale. After installing the water softener, the water entering the Countertop Water Dispenser has been softened, which can effectively protect the heating elements and pipes of the Countertop Water Dispenser, extend the service life of the Countertop Water Dispenser, and also ensure the quality and taste of drinking water. However, the water softener needs to be regenerated and maintained regularly to ensure its normal softening effect.
