Descaling with those "filter plugs" installed fills tank in a couple minutes....and your video says to shut it off after 5 minutes then let sit for 15. Can't shut it off after 5, when it is done at 2.

That's OK. However long it takes to shut off, let it sit for 15 minutes.

I've never had to do this for the three years I've had the device. Is that normal? I always rinse the tap water tank before filling it instead of just dumping it. Maybe that prevents scaling? I finally had the filter light activated for the RO filter (3). I have the model before you guys added a time check instead of the gallon counter check. I prefer just to have the gallon counter feature because what if we don't use it often? I feel like the timer feature is just to get people to buy filters more often. I'm loving my system, the only issue is having to use mineralized drops to prevent acidic water, but I saw that there is a new filter available now that adds the minerals back in. I might purchase that in the future.

It mostly depends on water hardness. People with very hard water, need to do descaling regularly. I have never needed to do it either and I don't do anything in particular to prevent the need to descale. My water hardness is not at a level that causes problems for my unit.

I did it every few months even though filter times never got longer than 10-15 minutes. After 2 years the machine was irreparably damaged and when I called customer service they said I should have done it every month and I had to buy a new unit. To bad. Their directions and the below comment from them seems suspect. I'd suggest doing it.

@@jonathanmanley6743 It seems to depend on the harness of your water coming into the house. I'm almost up to 4 years and I still don't have any issues with it with no descaling. How did yours fail? Did the pump just stop working or did it just take very long to filter the water?

@@WilbertIsRandom Yes. I have hard water in my area. I didn't have any issues and I changed my filters and it stopped filtering (it would filter but would never finish). They said the pump was damaged because it needed more descaling. I would think very few water sources are soft enough to never need descaling.

The first step is to try descaling. If that doesn't resolve the issue, generally a new RO filter is needed.

Yes, you can. There was a mistake in the first descaling instructions we sent out that said non-anhydrous. It should have sad "anhydrous." If you message us on the AquaTru Facebook page, we can give you the updated instructions that give information about descaling and filters.

My aquatru send to have an issue when I do this process. I get to the part where I'm cycling the cleaning solution through, and it stops in the middle of the tank. I turn it off, then turn it back on, get through the first cycle. When I go to pour the water back in the tank, I remove the back tank, pour the water with the cleaning solution in, put both tanks back on, and then it won't turn on. For a few hours, the unit does not power on, and then I'll go try it a few hours later and it works. What gives?

Using vinegar will damage the filters. Our descaling kit comes with plugs that will prevent the liquid from getting into the filters. You can get our descaling kit here: em.aquatruwater.com/?c=emfrship&_ga=2.46626215.1298345290.1617639581-874631687.1617467514

After the descaling, I replaced the 4 stage filter RO and the water to the clean water tank flows but on the tap water tank NOT.
@mariesunga8942
Жыл бұрын
I think that's because the filters soak up some of the water when new, as they are dry when first replaced so water is retained there and less water is seen in the clean water tank from what I remember on my first install. You would have to run 2 more tap water cyles and dump the water when replacing a filter. I'm in the process of descalding and replacing all filters now. Waiting on the 15 mins soak time on the descalding and then I'll be replacing all filters since it's been a couple of years since I replaced them and I haven't gotten a change filter indication at all for any of the filters. So I'm gonna go ahead and change them all and reset the machine and hoping next time I get a replace filter indicator on the display panel. But from what I remember when I first got the machine was that the filters when new will soak up some of the water on the first go.

Vinegar will work just fine. Vinegar's PH is 2 - 3, and citric acid is only 3 - 6. For comparison, battery acid is .08. I use Vinegar to descale my tankless water heater. Citric Acid is simply not powerful enough. The 3 descaling filters basically plug the holes so the whole system becomes a loop in which the Vinegar circulates. So you'll need those.
