Steps to keeping your water dispenser clean

WATER DISPENSER

How many of us clean our water dispensers regularly? Did you know that your water dispensers are to be cleaned every 3-6 months? This will make our water cleaner and will keep us from having any infection contracted from drinking unclean water.
The reservoir of the water dispenser can become slimy if not cleaned regularly and this could be a nidus for bacterial growth.
Water dispensers are found in banks, offices, homes etc. Do you think they clean the water dispensers regularly? When most of us come down with water borne diseases, we begin to question the diagnosis. You hear things like ' I use only bottled water  ' or  'I don't drink sachet water'. The question is 'HOW OFTEN DO YOU CLEAN YOUR WATER DISPENSER'.

 YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING TO CLEAN YOUR WATER DISPENSER 

• A pair of clean rubber gloves
• Clean brush or soft cloth
• Cleaning pad 
• Hot water

TAKE THE FOLLOWING EASY STEPS IN CLEANING YOUR WATER DISPENSER:

• Unplug the dispenser from the power source

• Remove the water bottle. Always do this when the water in the bottle is finished i.e when you want to put a new water bottle in the dispenser
• Drain water from the water dispenser
• Remove the top of the dispenser

NO SPILL ADAPTER

• I prefer to use hot water only for the cleaning but some people use bleach, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar in a volume of water to get the actual concentration to be used for cleaning.
• Pour the hot water in the reservoir after removing the no spill adapter and baffle

RESERVOIR UNIT

• Allow the hot water to sit for about 5 mins. Wear the gloves and use the soft pad or brush to wipe the inside of the unit.Drain the water through the spigots and repeat the process about 2 times.
• Wash the no spill adapter, baffle and the drip tray in a warm soapy water and allow to dry.

DRIP TRAY

• Clean the top of the dispenser and the back to remove dust and also around the spigots.
• Replace the baffle and the no spill adapter .

BAFFLE

• Replace a new water bottle on the dispenser
• Plug the dispenser and it is ready to be used again.

The drip tray should be washed every 2 weeks or monthly. Before buying any water dispenser, be sure that it can be removed easily when you want to clean it .

Stay healthy guys. Always drink uncontaminated water to avoid having water borne diseases. Feel free to ask any question.
