Maintenance Tips

• Daily sprayhead cleaning (highest priority): Remove and clean sprayheads to keep all ports clear for even water distribution—this ensures consistent tea strength and color across both brew heads.
• Regular deliming (1–3 months): Use a deliming spring in the sprayhead tube to remove mineral scale that slows flow, increases brew time, and causes underfilled batches.
• Clean brew funnels daily: Wash thoroughly to remove tea tannins and sugar residue that cause staining, odors, and flavor carryover between batches.
• Flush dilution system daily: Run water-only cycles through dilution nozzles to maintain correct iced tea-to-water ratio and prevent clogging.
• Wipe all exterior surfaces: Clean splash zones, funnels, and control areas daily with mild detergent to prevent sticky buildup and bacterial growth.
• Check water supply stability: Maintain consistent pressure (typically 20–90 PSI) and ensure inlet screen is clean for accurate 3-gallon batch volumes.
• Keep brewer level: Critical for accurate batch sizing and even distribution across both brew heads.
• Inspect spray pattern regularly: Uneven spray or slow brewing usually indicates early scale buildup or partial clogging.
• Deep descale periodically: Hard water scale is the main cause of slow cycles, weak extraction, and temperature drop.
• Preventive maintenance checks: Inspect spray arms, seals, and tubing to avoid downtime in high-volume service environments.
