Safety first: Wear gloves when handling descaling chemicals or detergents.

Step-by-step checks:

• Check water hardness: Use a hardness test kit. If hardness is above CMA’s recommended range, a water softener or treatment system is strongly recommended.
• Adjust detergent and rinse aid: Work with your chemical supplier to optimize detergent and rinse aid concentrations for your water conditions.
• Descale machine: Follow CMA’s descaling procedure using an approved deliming agent. Run a delime cycle to remove mineral buildup from the tank, booster, and spray arms.
• Rinse thoroughly: After deliming, run several rinse cycles with fresh water to remove chemical residues.

When to call a technician: Severe scale buildup inside the booster or piping may require partial disassembly and professional cleaning.
