Maintenance
Filter Replacement Guidelines:
The 4-stage filtration system is designed to filter up to 2,000 gallons or last up to 12 months, whichever comes first. However, actual replacement intervals may vary based on local water quality and usage frequency.
- If you notice reduced water flow or changes in taste, replace the filters sooner.
- Use only genuine VECYS replacement filters to ensure optimal performance.
- Refer to the detailed instructions in your physical manual for the filter replacement procedure. This typically involves turning off the water supply, releasing pressure, twisting out old filters, and twisting in new ones.
Cleaning the Dispenser:
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drip Tray: Regularly remove and empty the drip tray. Wash it with mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Condenser Coils: Periodically clean the condenser coils at the back of the unit with a brush or vacuum cleaner to ensure efficient operation. Disconnect power before cleaning.
