The H2 Series water ionizers have continuous-cleaning inside the water cell, but if your water flow-rate slows it may mean it's time to do a citric acid wash. People with hard water may need to do some kind of citric acid cleaning every year or so.
Using the Citric Acid Cleaning Cartridge makes it easier to clean the internal lines of the water ionizer than ever. All you need to do is install the special Citric Acid filter in the #2 spot of the ionizer and follow the directions, below.
Citric Acid Cleaning Cartridge Directions:
- Disconnect the electric plug.
- Turn off the water supply control valve.
- Open filter covers.
- Disconnect wire harnesses and remove both filters.
- Insert empty filter on right side.
- Insert cleaning filter on left side.
- Insert cap included on the tip of the acidic-hose (grey hose) of water ionizer.
- Gently tilt the Top Spout (flexi-hose) so it's up above the height of the ionizer.
- Turn on the water flow valve (slow flow) until drips start to come out of the tip of the spout. Then turn it off immediately.
- Let it sit for a few hours, or overnight.
- When the time is up, set the flexi-hose back down into its normal spot and remove the plug from the end of the acidic hose.
- Turn on the water flow (machine still unplugged) and let it flow freely for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the empty Cartridges and return the regular filters to their normal spots.
- Run water through the machine for about 2 minutes.
- Plug the machine back in and you're ready to go.
