What a about a 5 gallons bottle water dispenser.
How do you clean the plastic tube that suctions the water from the 5 gallon water bottle?
This is an excellent video! Couldn't have cleaned my unit without it!
However, I'm disappointed with my Avalon water cooler in general. The water itself tastes great, but it makes cloudy iced tea. Adding this difficult cleaning process to cloudy iced tea, expensive filters, and the cost of having it plumbed in, I wish I had just stuck with my Pur pitcher. It makes beautiful, clear iced tea!
Does it matter if we change the carbon and sediment filters? Should they be changed before or after this or does it matter?
For bottom-loading dispensers, can we just put the bucket of cleaning solution down where the bottle of water would go, stick the straw in, close the door and let the unit fill itself up? That would pull the cleaning solution through the straw, to clean it as well, and we can avoid taking the top of the unit apart? Repeat 3 times with clean water to rinse?
Also, what is the scrubbing sponge used for??
I’m concerned about the internal straw that sucks up the water (potential mold and mineral build up). How do I properly clean this straw? Should I have have it suck up a source of water with a citrus acid solution (similar to internal tank) and then run with clean water several times?
How do you clean the inside of the spouts? I noticed grime inside of them. Why doesn’t the kit come with a brush? I have to clean my “self-cleaning” unit after just 3 months because the water tastes like soil/dirt. The guide says I’m supposed to clean every 6 months but I have to clean now because of the water taste.
Omg what a process!!! I regret my purchase lol
Oh goodness is there an easier way, so many steps
This is how you make sure the bacteria n gunk is removed. You don’t want mildew water or citric acid crystals 😂
Stop being lazy
Buy a new one
It would be helpful to do a video on cleaning the metal insert for those of us who have bottom loading coolers. Essentially it’s like having a straw and there could possibly be mineral buildup in there as well.
Thank you for your comment. I have forwarded this information to our product specialist team. Please email support@avalonh2o.com if you have any questions.
I’m not sure if I got the faulty filters or not but it tastes like tab water.
Thank you for this. There isn’t detailed directions in the cleaning kit.
How do we get it to dispense quicker? Over time, it slows way down. The only videos I've seen they stick something in the spout like a toothpick. Is there anything better than a method like that?
What is the scrub sponge in the cleaning kit for? The inner reservoir doesn't need to be scrubbed? Just sit with the citric acid crystal mixture?
I can't figure out how to get the A4 cold tank lid to move far enough over to get at the interior.
1. Great video. Explains some stuff that wasn't in the instructions.
2. Ads playing during the video? Really?? Sort of nickel-and-dimeing customers...
3. Watch out for the drain outlet, the water can shoot a few feet out of that when the tank is full! I just scalded my leg a tiny bit with hot water. Too bad I didn't watch this video first! You can see in this video that the draining water overshoots her bucket, too...
4. Happy with my Avalon water dispenser, anyway...
How often are we supposed to do this? I may look for a different cooler that is truly self cleaning, this is a lot!!
No such thing
So after all that you do nothing for the intake side of the system? I’m going to pickup my cleaning solution from a bucket to run the cleaning solution through the intake side🤷🏻♂️
very helpful and thorough thank you
Thank you, very helpful!! Could you do the exact same procedure, but with distilled white vinegar instead of citric acid? Could you also fill an empty jug with the solution and the rinsing water and operate the unit? That would have the added benefit of cleaning the pump and draw tube as well. Thanks again!
You could use regular dish soap also instead of citric acid
@@sunsetsunrise4934 Using soap is going to require MANY flushes to get it all out of the system. It also creates bubbles that get everywhere
I just cleaned my A8CTBottleless and the silicone ring on the water reservoir cover and the mold on it cannot be scrubbed out. How can I get a replacement silicone ring? Thanks.
What a hassle just to clean this thing. Took an hour and almost a 5 gallon down.
did you remove the 5 gallon bottle? 🤔
Would you have a solution for when the water inside the cooler tank freezes up?
Junk it. It's a welded unit. Cannot replace the thermistor independently.
Throw it away as it will start malfunctioning quite quickly at this point.@@MortalHuman
Mine is doing the same. Im wondering if unplugging it overnight once or twice a month would help? At least it would allow it to defrost?
Yes people you to clean it some black stuff drain out I clean mine with vinegar I love my dispenser water is soooo sweet n fresh after cleaning
Wow, that’s hell of a job,lol! Thanks for the video!
Can you use vinegar
But, how many do you need to do that?
How many vinegars?! @@josearturoramosramos7184
Yep... one to one ratio
In a pinch, would using boiling water (Or very close to boiling) solve at least some of the cleaning required? As a temporary clean
Also would it damage anything?
Covid is making it difficult to get cleaning supplies
i put boiling water in my water dispenser and it works and didnt break anything so you should be fine
@@valentinazhurbich860 Thank you, running out of options as we're out of cleaning supplies and we have sick in the house. Stay safe
Will this process also clean a water dispenser that was exposed to fumigation?
My question is though how Clean the thing if it is drizzling water Mine is drizzling water out of the hot and cold well the only little water is coming out of the Nothing out of the hut
What a great video!!
I just cleaned my water cooler yesterday, and I rinsed it twice thoroughly. I then replaced the water with my 5 gallon bottle. And the water tastes horrible, it was so bitter my dogs wouldn't even drink it. So now I have to waste a whole 5 gallon water bottle and rinse again. This never happened with the other cleaning solution I purchased from Amazon. I got this one from home Depot. I don't think I will purchase this product again
I thought these things were self cleaning?
This may don’t have that feature
@@paulmathew8814 has an ozone button on back so this looks like the self cleaning.
@@avalonsupport4794 there are no instruction manuals for me because it has to be registered and mine won’t register because I bought it at an auction for Very discounted price , lost English version of manual
@@armandhammerbamboozled2993 website support section has manuals for all models
The cold tank round thing won’t move not so easy to turn. Now what? They are closed on Sundays and see no downloadable user guides.
But this has really helped me
Is the water jug connected the entire time during this cleaning process?
Thank you for your question! You may leave the jug connected to the unit during the cleaning process.
Having trouble finding a video on how to clean the A3 water cooler. Is there a way to clean it or is it fine with the self cleaning system? Thanks
Thank you for your comment. This is the internal cleaning instructions for the A3 model. Follow the instructional steps in this video once every 6 months. If you have any questions, please reach out to our support team at support@avalonh2o.com
Perfect video ...
I thought it is self cleaning
We had one of these water dispensers. Two weeks in the water taste changed horribly. I tasted like pool water. Avalon sent us a cleaning kit, which is not nearly as detailed as this video. Here I am opening this machine and not sure how to remove the separator in the tank (the instructions don't explain that it is threaded on). Horrible. This is the second Avalon unit that has failed and it will be the last. Please don't buy from these guys, there are so many other companies making coolers that don't have this reputation!
I've been in a customer service loop with them for at least two months. appalled to open it up and see what I've been drinking!
I agree. I'm going to buy a different one as well. I had 2 that failed as well!!!!!
I used a rubber grip, like for can openers and pulled it right off
She forgot to mention to use 200g of citric acid crystals.
is it 200g or 50g? she used the small pack and i think the big pack is 200g
Where do you get the cleaning kits
amazon
I buy a new water cooler every 2-3 years and I can tell by the internals that it doesn't matter if you buy Primo, Avalon, Brio, igloo these are all made by the same company with slighly different external modification displays. They are ALL junk. My advice is to buy the low dollar one and just plan on replacing every 2-3 years. As far as cleaning, I never do it. Our family goes through 4-5 5 gallon Kentwood water jugs per month. Water is constitantly flowing from all dispensors. No one has ever got sick. Once you break into the internals you are asking for trouble. What I do though is disnfect the plastic or metal tube that goes into the 5 gallon jug at every jug change. Not telling people what to do as far as cleaning but just telling you from experience as numerous owner of these units. Anyone else want to verify this statement who has owned many of these?
With plain water? …Drinking water or tap water? Wouldn’t tap water leave calcification?
Anytime I do cleaning whether it is in a product like this, a coffee pot, etc, I use distilled water jugs
What is the scrubbing sponge used for??
Its in the intructions
@@Lesliemfit My cleaning kit did not come with instructions. Just two identical advertisements for the bottle-less filter system. 😩 What does it say in the instructions???
@@dannyhamilton its for the inside metal can. Personally i think the kit is a waste of money! Maybe ill use the sponge for my dishes lol
What is the scrubbing brush for?
Lol😂
Maybe only to clean the cold tank separator?
I have a A1CTWTRCLRBLK, will cleaning instructions work for that as well?
That white cover is a lot harder to remove than she shows. I thought I was going to break something.
Couldn't I just use vinegar?
yep
She never even used the sponge
Do not buy this. Best case you’re cleaning this every three months and has a slight smell. The smell is like a musty smell even after performing the self cleaning ozone. Worst case, it smells musty that you do not want to drink it. If you don’t trust your water source, does it matter what steps are necessary to clean it?
You will find this problem with ANY product that has water flowing thru it.
Once you...
This wasn't so bad...
Hi
It’s too much work to clean it. I will just buy bottled water much easier 😅
This is WAAAAY too much work. Y'all need to simplify this for the customer. Like a button that will auto drain and feed crystals from a little chute. The customer should NOT have to take anything apart.
This was a nightmare I ended up with water all over me and my model of water cooler is not even a year old and this helped me with absolutely 0. Wish I never bought this thing.
Is the quality of the water impacted? Or did you just want to clean it just for doing so?
This nightmare comes with any watercooler product you buy, if you follow the maintenance recommendations like you should.. Basic cleaning needs to be done every 6 months, intense cleaning like this probably every year.
It's a fact of life, if you want modern convenience at home. If you don't, go back to jug water and buy a kettle for hot water.
Can’t remove the cover
Thank you for your reply. We apologize for the trouble with your unit and our support team is always happy to assist. Please contact them at support@avalonh2o.com
THE CLEANIGN KIT DOES NTO SAY NOTHING ABOUT ALL OF THIS WOW...... THIS TOTALLY SUCKS...
