## How to Unclog a Primo Water Dispenser
A Primo water dispenser is a convenient way to have fresh, filtered water on tap. However, like any appliance, it can occasionally become clogged. If your Primo water dispenser is not dispensing water, or if the water is coming out slowly, it may be clogged.
There are a few simple steps you can take to unclog your Primo water dispenser:
### Step 1: Check the water filter
The most common cause of a clogged Primo water dispenser is a dirty water filter. The water filter should be replaced every 6 months, or more often if you have hard water. To check the water filter, remove the top of the dispenser and look inside. If the filter is brown or black, it needs to be replaced.
### Step 2: Clean the water tank
The water tank can also become clogged with minerals and other debris. To clean the water tank, remove the top of the dispenser and lift out the water tank. Rinse the tank out with clean water and replace it.
### Step 3: Clean the dispenser spout
The dispenser spout can also become clogged with minerals and other debris. To clean the dispenser spout, remove the spout from the dispenser and rinse it out with clean water.
### Step 4: Reset the dispenser
If the above steps do not unclog your Primo water dispenser, you may need to reset the dispenser. To reset the dispenser, unplug it from the power outlet and wait 30 seconds. Then, plug the dispenser back in and press the reset button.
### If the above steps do not unclog your Primo water dispenser, you may need to contact Primo customer service for assistance.
