A lot of calcium content being stuck to the outside of the plastic container. Found out it can be cleaned with vinegar and water. Although it's a big hassle.
It's your water man. I have been using this machine for 2 years. Have not descaled it even once and have zero calcium deposits. I wash the tank once a week with soap. And probably go through 4-5 refills a day.

Yeah you're probably right. I guess depending on where someone uses this, they could experience the same issue. Where do you live?

Use white vinegar and water and let it soak in there. It will remove it easy.

You can purchase water softners for the home. Not sure if you can get one to just attach to the kitchen faucet or not.

You need to use white vinegar and let it soak. In your case, once each week. Maintenance is key!

Im considering one of these or one of the units similar to under sink ro but sets on the counter and has a hose that runs to the faucet. Can't figure out which is actually better. Im leaning to the faucet connection as then no tanks to fill and they are only like $150.

Under sink takes less counter room but takes room under the sink. I've heard the under sink ones are better filtration due to size etc. Both are good choices though

Hi! That is scale buildup and you need a descaler to get it off. I purchase the descaler right from the aquatru website.

Good review. I like the machine overall but like say it can be improved. Also if you have more than two heavy water drinkers in the house you'll keep running out of water and waiting for it to fill up again.

OK so we all know that you don’t wait for five months to clean this unless you’re wanting us to be impressed with the machine which I already was but no I wash and clean and I don’t have to use a scrubby every two weeks that’s what they tell you the calcium buildup is of course bad for you, so I’ve had my system for two years now maybe three and mine doesn’t look like that. The only thing that I can’t find is how often do you change the filters according to the company not to a person, and I want to know what the company says

I agree on cleaning more often depending on your cities water supply. Issue is not filters replacing as it should be good for over 6 months. I think cleaning is needed more often but with stronger solutions for sure. Thank you for watching

Hi Joyce, did you find out when to change the filter? I found it on a KZitem video, but the system also tells you. It shows 4 different numbers on the front of the machine, when it shows (and doesn't go away) that's the filter number that needs to be changed.

Glass won't fix the problem of scaling. Ever see a glass shower door with hand water? Unless you pre-filter out the minerals, you'll probably have to replace your filters a lot more, especially the first one.
