Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and water taste. It is recommended to replace the charcoal filter once a month and clean the machine after every 2 uses.

Charcoal Filter Replacement

  2. Replace with a new activated carbon pack.
  3. Insert the nozzle, positioning the card first.
  4. Push the nozzle down into the machine until it is securely in place.

Note: We kindly suggest replacing the charcoal filter once a month. Before each use, check the water outlet to make sure only one charcoal filter sachet is installed.

Cleaning the Distiller (Using Citric Acid)

For best performance, clean the machine after every 2 uses.

  1. Pour approximately 1/3 of the water container's capacity into the distiller's boiling chamber.
  2. Add 2 spoons of the included citric acid cleaner into the water.
  3. Heat the solution until it boils. For light scale, turn off after boiling. For heavy scale, continue heating for 10-20 minutes.
  4. Turn off the machine, allow it to sit and cool, then pour out the water and rinse the chamber thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VIVOHOME Water Distiller, please review the following common solutions:

  • Distiller not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the distiller and a working electrical outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
  • No water being distilled: Verify that the water tank is filled above the minimum level. Ensure the unit is powered on and the distillation cycle has started.
  • Unusual odor or taste: Perform a thorough cleaning cycle with citric acid. Ensure the charcoal filter is correctly installed and replace it if it's old.
  • Unit shuts off prematurely: This is often due to the automatic dry-boil protection. Ensure there is sufficient water in the tank before starting a cycle.
