Maintenance
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the dispenser with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Nozzle Cleaning: Periodically clean the dispensing nozzle with a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Internal Reservoir: The internal water reservoir is constructed of food-grade stainless steel, which helps maintain water quality. Regular cleaning of the internal components is generally not required under normal use with Primo water bottles.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water flow is slow or stops intermittently. | Airlock in the water bottle or dispenser. | 1. Ensure the water bottle cap is fully removed before loading. 2. Gently rock the water bottle on the dispenser to release trapped air. 3. If using a bottle with a non-piercing cap, ensure it is compatible and properly seated. 4. Some users have found that removing the top part of the dispenser (the removable component with a pointy insert) can improve water flow by preventing airlock issues. This modification is not officially endorsed and should be done with caution. |
| Water is leaking from the bottle. | Bottle not seated correctly or damaged bottle. | 1. Remove the bottle and re-seat it firmly onto the dispenser. 2. Inspect the bottle for cracks or damage. Replace if necessary. |
| No water dispenses. | Empty water bottle or severe airlock. | 1. Replace the empty water bottle with a full one. 2. Follow steps for resolving slow water flow/airlock issues. |
