Use of hard tap water with high mineral content, Lack of demineralization cartridge (if applicable), Heavy scaling on internal surfaces shedding particles

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning.

  • 1. Switch to distilled water: Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral dust formation.
  • 2. Deep clean unit: Descale the tank, base, and transducer with a vinegar-water solution, then rinse thoroughly.
  • 3. Increase cleaning frequency: Clean the unit weekly if using mineral-containing water.
  • 4. Consider pre-filtration: If distilled water is not practical, use a separate water softening or filtration system to reduce hardness before filling the tank.
