Before “bathing” the water dispenser, master Lin first introduced the structure and function of the water dispenser: the water dispenser usually has the barrel neck of bottled water turned upside down and placed on the “smart seat” of the water dispenser, and then the water is introduced into two water tanks by the hose in the dispenser, one of which is a hot water tank and the other is a cold water tank. In addition to the function of producing cold and hot water, these two water tanks can also play the role of precipitating impurities in the water.
Master Lin said that in life, people often replace bottled water repeatedly, but they ignore that there is still a certain amount of water in the inner tank of the water dispenser, which will hide pathogenic bacteria, and over time, it will become a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, if the cold and hot water bladder in the barreled water dispenser is not washed for three months, bacteria, viruses, sediment residues, heavy metals and even red worms will multiply in large numbers, seriously endangering people’s health.
Therefore, master Lin reminds: “clean the water dispenser at least once every two months.”
several steps to clean the water dispenser:
1. Unplug the power plug, take down the bucket, open the drain nozzle behind the water dispenser (generally white plastic knob) to drain the remaining water. Then, turn on the hot and cold water switch to discharge water.
In this link, the most noteworthy thing is that the blowdown nozzle of the vertical water dispenser is generally located at the back of the machine, while the desktop water dispenser is located at the bottom of the machine. The user must hold the desktop water dispenser to see it.
2. Rotate counterclockwise, take down the “smart seat” (that is, the part in the water dispenser that contacts the spring bucket), and carefully scrub the inner and outer sides of the water dispenser liner and lid with alcohol cotton to prepare for the next disinfection.
3. Prepare disinfection water according to the instructions of decontamination effervescent tablets or disinfectants (decontamination effervescent tablets and special disinfectants are available in supermarkets, and the price is not expensive), introduce them into the water dispenser, fill the whole cavity with disinfection water, and leave them for 10-15 minutes.
What is worth noting in this link is that if there is no decontamination effervescent tablets, disinfectants or disinfectant water, you can boil a pot of hot water, introduce the hot water into the water dispenser, and also leave it for 10-15 minutes. The purpose of this method is to eliminate the bacteria in it with high temperature.
4. Turn on all the switches of the water dispenser, including the sewage pipe and the drinking water switch, and drain the disinfectant or boiling water. To ensure that the disinfectant is discharged clean, try to rinse it several times with boiled water or purified water.
5. After several times of washing, tilt the water dispenser backward to drain the liquid accidentally dropped during cleaning, and wipe the outside and back of the machine with a dry rag.
6. After the water dispenser is cleaned, there may be a trace of water dispenser cleaning liquid left, which cannot be drunk immediately. Water should be discharged first until the discharged water has no chlorine smell before drinking.
