Step 6 Mix a solution of cleaner/descaler and
lukewarm water. Depending upon the amount of mineral
buildup, a larger quantity of solution may be required.
Use the ratio in the table below to mix enough solution to
thoroughly clean all parts.
Solution Type Water Mixed With
Cleaner 1 gal. (4 L) 16 oz (475 ml) cleaner
Step 7 Use 1/2 of the descaler/water mixture to
descale all components. The solution will foam when it
contacts lime scale and mineral deposits; once the foaming
stops use a soft-bristle nylon brush, sponge or cloth (NOT
a wire brush) to carefully clean the parts. Soak parts for 5
minutes (15 - 20 minutes for heavily scaled parts). Rinse all
components with clean water.
