FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q:
Why do I get a plastic taste from my dispenser?
A:
As with most new appliances such as coffee makers and kettles, there is often a
plastic taste upon initial start-up of the unit. To remove this taste, simply follow
the cleaning instructions outlined in Cleaning the Inside of the Dispenser.
Q:
What is the spike that goes into the bottle?
A:
Vitapur® water dispensers feature a "piercing valve" as part of the bottle sup-
port collar, providing added convenience for water bottle installation. Depend-
ing on the water bottle supplier, some water bottles incorporate a self-piercing
membrane in the bottle cap for this specific purpose (ask your water bottle sup-
plier if your water bottle incorporates this feature). If your water bottle does not
incorporate this feature, the entire bottle cap must then be removed to eliminate
possible damage to the piercing valve.
