One. Why does the water dispenser have algae?

The specific signs of algae growth inside a water dispenser are yellowing and greening of the water. The presence of algae in the water dispenser is due to contamination by algae (commonly known as algae). Algae belong to the kingdom of algae, which are a type of low-level plants and are autotrophic plants. Their cell structure is simple, and they contain chlorophyll and other pigments. They are small in size and can reproduce in large numbers through photosynthesis. Their reproductive methods include sexual reproduction and spore reproduction. In suitable temperatures (25°C-35°C), algae spores can reproduce in large numbers through photosynthesis when exposed to sunlight and nutrient sources (such as Ca2+ and Mg2+ minerals), leading to the formation of visible algae and causing the water to turn green.

Two. How to clean algae from the water dispenser.


1、 Remove the bucket, turn off the power, open the rear drainage port to drain the water, then turn on the hot and cold water switches to drain the water. Next, use a disinfectant to clean the inside and outside of the components, then remove the overlapping area between the water dispenser and the mineral water bucket. Then, pour the disinfectant into the water dispenser and wait for about 10 minutes to drain the disinfectant. Open all switches and continuously flush the inside. Finally, add water to ensure that there is no chlorine odor.

2. If water dispensers exhibit algae growth, water-filled pipes, or water spouts with algae spores, it is necessary to use a specialized disinfectant to clean them. Otherwise, it will not be possible to completely eliminate the problem.

III.Water dispenserWhat are the effects of green algae growing inside?

Algae commonly grow in water or in damp, shady areas on land. Water contaminated with algae should not be consumed, as it typically contains a high concentration of bacteria and microorganisms. The microorganisms present in algae can have a serious impact on human health, ranging from mild symptoms such as diarrhea to severe gastrointestinal diseases.
