Thank you for making this video. It felt like home. Like I was watching my grandfather do one of his fixer uppers of things around the house. Now I know how to clean our water tank to make sure my family has clean water. Your help will not be forgotten.
Just my luck! Same exact model as mine! Had some floaters in the water this morning and was thinking about it all day. I just poured some water and vinegar and tried flushing it but still had floaters. Good thing I found this video because I didn’t know I can take the white insert out. Helped a million! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video because I couldn’t figure out how to clean it and I just did it with your step-by-step. You should be a teacher
I'm back here again after almost a year cause it's time to clean it. This video is the best for cleaning the dispenser. Easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to show this!❤
Put down a milk crate. Put a piece of wood like plywood on top, put the unit on top. Makes for less back.breaking dispensing)) God Bless. Got one of those as a birthday gift 10 years ago. One of the best gifts ever! Also dont forget to fully empty the reservoir. The tap is on the back. Pop the cork and drain that baby!
We just started getting debri in ours. I was afraid I would have to dismantle the whole thing to get to the hoses. Glad I found this video first. Thankyou for posting this video, probably just saved me from a headache.
Thanks for the video. I had a woodsy taste and smell to my water. I first used the primo instructions on their website(which also had a video), however this video helped me pull more of the dispenser apart, to which I found more of the woodsy smell. Did some more flushing and hard cleaning of the "guts" and hopefully solved my issue.
THANKS !!! I bought mines of a used store and have tried everything to clean it dirty stuff would come out you are the only video to teach me to take it apart and found all the gunk!!
Thank you for posting this! I have had this water cooler for years and have never cleaned it and today it dawned on me I should probably clean it. So now I know how thanks to you guys! 😊
I love this man everything about him. He’s a clean freak, like me and tears random stuff apart to clean it and his accent is hilarious. This video is also perfect. Good stuff. All around.
I popped off the front and the little tray where the water sits was slimy. Gave it a good ol wash and that was that. Thank you so much. Thought I was going to have to buy another water dispenser. You Sir saved me 100. dollars or more. Thank you.
My husband works out of town so i was stuck with this water machine having floaters for 2 weeks 😅 first video i watched and helped so much! Thank you!😊
Thank you so much for this video. I bothered used water dispenser 4 months ago. It's been sitting there getting dusty. Thank you for letting me know how to disinfect it because I didn't want to use it if I didn't do that
I found on the primo website they said to put 2 cups of vinegar in 2 gallons warm water or 2 tbsp bleach in 2 gallons warm water and let it sit 10 min before flushing it through then rinsing. BUT, I couldn’t find a video how to take this specific dispenser apart. Thank you!!!
Thanks for this video...and yes I watched the whole video! I have been thinking about getting a water cooler and I was looking at a Primo like this one so this video was perfect and helped answer some concerns I had. I really love your videos!
Thank you soooo much! This video was extremely helpful! I was able to clean the holding tank for the water and I ran water through both hot and cold until they ran clean! Thank you again!
Awesome video. I have same primo for 6 year thinking time to replace news without knowing the white cover can be pop up to clean inside. Thanks grandpa
The nozzles I think you could just clean them with a brush to get any yucky gunk out. It seems to gather around the inside of the spout, so it’s not to hard to clean.
Thank you for the educational video I never knew my water machine came apart that way but I'm so glad to find this out. PS the baby throughout the video is so dang cute!
So much I felt like my water was like tasting weird and then watching your video I saw that I had like mold down in there Thank you so much this helped a lot
Lol hope she got nonstuck 🤣 was the cutest thing . Thanks 4 this video...we have the same kind so gonna try this out and cleaning all the pieces also with dawn .
Thank you for this, I really appreciate it! I didn't even know I could pop the top off. I noticed things floating and couldn't figure out what in the world it was so I went searching UA-cam and found your video. Problem solved! Also...whatever it is that looks like hair wasn't yours, I found the same looking thing and it was white. Well, I haven't gone gray yet and I knew it wasn't mine 😊. Once again...thank you.
You forgot to take the blue plug from the back of the machine to drain the hot water tap. BE CAREFUL and have a pot ready to catch the hot water when you remove the plug!!!! This is where I noticed a lot of debris/trash as well. Hope that helps
Yes.. this model has a red plug! and has to be unscrewed.. before unplugging, have a bucket or pot ready. Excellent video, & helpful tip from @tsw6455 & @FloMo14 ❤
I cleaned it the same and it came out dirty the same but only on the hot water side I suppose also because that is little used but thank you very much for your video
Thank you for this video. I have a model close to this one. I am going to clean mine this evening. It was hilarious when you didn't remember which way the piece of plastic went. "Let's rewind the video" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks again!!
I took the reservoir apart to clean it after it sat in the shed, there is a plastic L that I can't figure out where it goes. It's under the "plate with the bottle puncher but not sure where it belongs....please HELP
@@PaffordHomestead I wound up running about a half gallon of water/vinegar through the reservoir for the heck of it. I know Primo says to fill an empty 5 gallon bottle with 2 gallons of water with bleach or vinegar but didn't think that was necessary. I washed the two removable parts by hand. Thanks!
Okay what I'm needing to know is how to put the plastic nipples and where to put the plastic nipples after you take off the top part that the water bottle sits upside down on
Please check out our full play list ❤

Thank you so much. Autumn does look so much like him.
@@PaffordHomestead thanks I couldn’t tell if he said Olive or Autumn. Such a cutie. Both of them! Love at the beginning how he swooped his hair!

The nozzles I think you could just clean them with a brush to get any yucky gunk out. It seems to gather around the inside of the spout, so it’s not to hard to clean.
Thank you for the information..
I use a toothbrush to clean the nozzles. It really gets in those nooks and hard to reach places.
Thank you for the help, Good Sir!
Anytime 😊

Video is a god send. Thank you! Any advice on how to clean under the rubber “washer” inside of the circular part we popped off the top? Thanks!!

You are very welcome
I watched a bunch of videos . Yours was easier to follow ! Thanks !
You gotta drain it from the back as well but make sure not to loose the plug lol I just lost it and gotta wait for the part.
I didn't know it had a drain plug in the back I will have to check it out next time I clean mine
Thank you so much for his video in the process of cleaning mine now and this video was helper ❤❤

Thank you very much 😊
You forgot to take the blue plug from the back of the machine to drain the hot water tap. BE CAREFUL and have a pot ready to catch the hot water when you remove the plug!!!! This is where I noticed a lot of debris/trash as well. Hope that helps
I didn't see a blue plug Thank You I will look for it.
@@PaffordHomestead I didn't either could you let us know where it would be ?
Thanks…mine was red, but I also noticed debris that came out once i took the screw out
Yes.. this model has a red plug! and has to be unscrewed.. before unplugging, have a bucket or pot ready. Excellent video, & helpful tip from @tsw6455 & @FloMo14 ❤
Thanks for the video buddy! You saved the day!
Glad to help
Thank you! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome!

Your welcome
Very helpful! Definitely going to try on mine, thank you!
It was easier than I thought 😅
I washed my water dispenser and did all that but I’m still seeing the floating in the water. What I supposed to do please?
Run some more vinegar through it....
Thank you very much for doing what I wasn’t brave enough to do lol.
Muy bien video amigo 👏👏🇨🇱
The insert in the middle should just pop up too right?
The funnel I believe its called, mine is stuck shouldn’t it just pop off? Ive done this before with your help here but im stuck now
Yes twist and pull
Thank you sorry it was just too icy 😓
I took the reservoir apart to clean it after it sat in the shed, there is a plastic L that I can't figure out where it goes. It's under the "plate with the bottle puncher but not sure where it belongs....please HELP
I'll have to go back and look at mine so give me a couple of days to get to it....
I made another video see if it helps...
Thank you for this video 👍🏼👍🏼
THANK YOU SIR!! Helped me so much! ❤
Glad it helped!
Do you think it's a good idea to clean it before first use?
If you want just run some water through it could have dust or other thing in it from sitting in the store...
@@PaffordHomestead I wound up running about a half gallon of water/vinegar through the reservoir for the heck of it. I know Primo says to fill an empty 5 gallon bottle with 2 gallons of water with bleach or vinegar but didn't think that was necessary. I washed the two removable parts by hand. Thanks!
Great job cleaning your water cooler my friend! Visiting you from Gander Newfoundland and Labrador Canada 👨🍳🇨🇦👩🌾
Thank you so much it worked great

Hello can you please tell me the water reservoir is made of stainless still aluminum? Great info Thank you
Looks stainless to me
@@PaffordHomestead okay thank you
Thank you I appreciate this was very helpful found myself in the same situation!
Thanks papa you're amazing.
You're welcome
Have a blessed day!
I wander if you clean the burkey filters
??? I had to Google it it's spelled Berkey water filter I'm sure you would need to clean the canister part....
The white piece in my dispenser won’t come out. How did you take yours out so easy?
Ours just pulled out, see if it will turn and pull.....
@@PaffordHomestead I got it. Lol I held down the dispenser while pulling it out. Which I wasn’t doing in the first place. Thank you
Thank you! I couldn't figure it out on my own!
Glad I could help!
❤ loved your video I have the same model thank you btw you made my day when you for got wich way the part went back on😂😂

Thank You I wish 🤞 🙏
Thank you I found your video very helpful
Glad it helped
🕊️🏜️Thank you so much for the video!!!, How often should I clean it?🌸 Peace and love!!! ...
I do mine every 3 months or if I see something floating in it....Thank You for watching
Okay what I'm needing to know is how to put the plastic nipples and where to put the plastic nipples after you take off the top part that the water bottle sits upside down on
