II. Steps for Cleaning Household Water Pipes
1. Pre-cleaning preparation: Understand the pipe layout, water fixture configuration, and close all water-related electrical valves, water tanks, and toilet valves.
2、Pre-cleaning Leak Test: Connect the machine and faucet using the connecting pipe. First, perform a leak test on the pipeline to determine if it can be cleaned, preventing unnecessary disputes.
3. Dissolve citric acid before cleaning: Ensure that the surface is cleanable and develop a feasible cleaning plan. Use a bucket of warm water (approximately 50°C, slightly warmer than bathwater) with a 1:10 ratio of water to citric acid.
4、Close the main water valve to drain: Open the lowest or nearest faucet to drain any remaining water from the pipe.
5、Food-grade citric acid-soaked water for pipe cleaning: This allows for remote activation of the extraction function, enabling the injection of citric acid solution into the pipe. Immerse for 30 minutes to thoroughly soften dirt and grime on the pipe walls.
6、Remote Cleaning: Initiate remote cleaning. Use pulse wave to remove dirt from the pipe walls and flush it out through the drainpipe. Continue until clear water flows. After 1-2 minutes, turn off the water faucet again and repeat the process for the next water faucet. once all water faucets have been cleaned, the cleaning operation is complete.
7. Disconnect and clean the equipment: After cleaning is complete, the equipment can be disconnected. During the cleaning process, water may splash onto the work surface. After cleaning is finished, the work surface must be cleaned thoroughly to ensure a clean and tidy environment, which enhances the customer experience.
