Do I need to do any sterilisation on my filter?

Sterilizing the water filter is an important step in ensuring its hygiene and proper operation. Most people think that using a water filter is enough to provide clean and safe water, but the truth is that filter maintenance and sterilization are equally important.

One of the most common points of contamination in a filter device is the spout or suction from which the filtered water comes out. The suction can come into contact with various surfaces and objects, increasing the risk of contamination. The sterilisation of the runny nose can be done with simple procedures and materials available in every household such as white spirit.

Why is it important to sterilize the rouge?

The suction of the water filter device is vulnerable to contamination by microbes and bacteria. This can happen when someone touches it with unclean hands or when it comes into contact with food such as meat. Even if the water being filtered is clean, contact of the spout with contaminated surfaces can transfer germs to the water you drink.

How to sterilize the suction of the water filter device

Yes! It is advisable once a week to put alcohol in the mouthpiece and internally in the suction of the device (externally and internally). The reason is that there is a possibility that someone with unclean hands or even some food, e.g. meat, could unintentionally touch the nozzle and contaminate it. So with alcohol or another sterilizing agent you sterilize the runny nose internally and externally. Ask to have your consultant explain the procedure to you and your consultant.

Sterilisation process:

1. Preparation: Make sure you have all the necessary materials: clean alcohol (or other sterilizing agent) and a long brush.
2. Cleaning outside: Dip a cotton ball or cloth in the alcohol and carefully clean the outside of the rune. Pay particular attention to the corners and crevices where germs can accumulate.
3. Cleaning internally: Using a long brush soaked in alcohol, clean the inside of the rune. Insert the brush into the mouthpiece and rotate it to remove germs if present from the inner surfaces.
4. Allow to dry: Allow the snorkel to dry naturally before using it again. The alcohol evaporates quickly, but it is important to make sure it is completely dry.
