Descaling your AquaTru water purifier is essential for maintaining its performance and extending its lifespan. While the complete descaling process involves several steps, a key sequence during the procedure includes specific actions related to power management and soaking.
Based on instructional material, here are the steps for a specific phase of descaling your AquaTru unit:
Key Steps During AquaTru Descaling
During the descaling process, after initiating a cycle with a descaling solution (as per the full descaling instructions, which may involve using substances like citric acid), you will reach a point where specific actions are required:
- Turn off the power. Disconnect the power supply to the AquaTru unit.
- Allow the unit to sit and soak for 15 minutes. This soaking period is crucial for the descaling solution to work effectively on mineral deposits.
- After the 15 minutes are up, turn your AquaTru back on. Reconnect the power supply and power on the unit.
- Then, let it complete the filtration process of the descaling. The unit will proceed to finish the cycle, likely involving filtration and potentially draining, as part of the overall descaling procedure.
Why Descale Your AquaTru?
Over time, minerals naturally present in water can build up inside your AquaTru, particularly on the membrane and internal components. This buildup, known as scale, can:
- Reduce filtration efficiency.
- Decrease water flow rate.
- Potentially impact the taste of your purified water.
- Shorten the lifespan of the unit's parts.
Regular descaling, following the manufacturer's recommended procedure which includes steps like the soaking sequence mentioned above, helps remove these mineral deposits, ensuring your AquaTru continues to produce clean, pure water efficiently.
Remember that these steps represent a specific phase within the comprehensive descaling instructions provided by AquaTru. Always refer to your user manual or AquaTru's official support resources for the complete process, including how to prepare the descaling solution and subsequent rinsing steps.
