## How to Clean Sparkletts Water Dispenser
Sparkletts water dispensers are a convenient way to have fresh, sparkling water on demand. However, like all appliances, they need to be cleaned regularly to ensure they are working properly and to prevent the growth of bacteria.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to clean your Sparkletts water dispenser:
### Materials You Will Need:
– White vinegar
– Baking soda
– Soft cloths
– Clean toothbrush (optional)
### Step 1: Unplug the Dispenser and Remove the CO2 Cylinder
Before you start cleaning, be sure to unplug the dispenser and remove the CO2 cylinder. This will prevent any electrical shocks or accidental discharge of gas.
### Step 2: Prepare the Vinegar Solution
In a clean bowl, mix equal parts white vinegar and water. This solution will help to remove mineral deposits and bacteria from the dispenser.
### Step 3: Clean the Exterior
Dip a soft cloth into the vinegar solution and wipe down the exterior of the dispenser, including the base, sides, and top. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
### Step 4: Clean the Drip Tray
Remove the drip tray from the dispenser and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse the tray thoroughly and dry it with a clean cloth.
### Step 5: Clean the Reservoir
Fill the reservoir with the vinegar solution and let it sit for 30 minutes. This will help to dissolve any mineral deposits or bacteria that may have built up.
After 30 minutes, drain the vinegar solution and rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water.
### Step 6: Clean the Nozzle
Use a clean toothbrush to scrub the nozzle of the dispenser. This will help to remove any mineral deposits or bacteria that may have built up.
### Step 7: Clean the CO2 Cylinder
If the CO2 cylinder is removable, remove it from the dispenser and inspect it for any leaks or damage. If there are any leaks or damage, do not use the cylinder and contact Sparkletts for a replacement.
If the CO2 cylinder is not removable, you can clean it by wiping it down with a clean cloth.
### Step 8: Reassemble the Dispenser
Once all the parts of the dispenser have been cleaned, reassemble the dispenser and plug it in.
### Step 9: Run Clean Water Through the Dispenser
Run clean water through the dispenser for several minutes to flush out any remaining vinegar solution.
### Step 10: Enjoy Your Sparkling Water!
Your Sparkletts water dispenser is now clean and ready to use. Enjoy your fresh, sparkling water!
