If you have a water ionizer that does not seem to be putting out much more than a trickle of water when turned on, this may be a clear result of mineral build up on the electrodes of the unit. This is a normal condition that results with water ionizers after using them for twelve to twenty four months. Do not worry though because there is a simple way to clean these units to provide refreshing, clean water once again.

To clean your water ionizer and remove the minerals that have built up, you will need white vinegar and a small fish tank pump or small water garden pump. If you do not have these items you can purchase a pump for as little as fifteen dollars.

Step 1. For your safety you will first need to unplug your water ionizer from the electrical outlet. By blowing through the silver tube, inlet tube and acid tub, you need to remove as much water as possible from your water ionizer unit. You need to remove the filter also and shake the water out and then replace the filter securely in place before cleaning your unit.

Step 2. Using any modifications that are necessary, you need to attach the water ionizers inlet hose to the pump so that the hose fits into the pump correctly. Place the entire pump into the white vinegar until the pump is submerged.

Step 3. Plug the pump into the power source. It is preferred to use a ground fault outlet if possible.

Step 4. To ensure that the entire unit is re-circulating, you need to place the silver tube and acid tube from the water ionizer into the white vinegar solution.

Step 5. The vinegar will dissolve the calcium that is built up as it flows through the tubes.

Step 6. Depending on the amount of minerals that are deposited on the electrodes it could take two to twelve hours to clean your entire water ionizer.

Step 7. Once the vinegar has finished running through, you will need to reattach your water ionizer to the water source and flush the vinegar out of the unit with fresh water.

Step 8. You can begin using your water ionizer unit again.
