Hard water can leave visible deposits, but the remedy must suit the robot's materials and plumbing. Avoid treating the station like a kettle with a generic descaling recipe.
Table of Contents
A practical checklist
- Check the manufacturer's guidance on water quality and deposits.
- Wipe accessible permitted surfaces during normal tank and tray care.
- Ask support for an approved procedure if flow or deposits become a problem.
What this looks like at home
Chalky marks on a removable tray do not automatically justify putting descaler through the internal pump.
Keep clean water, dirty water and dry dust separate
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Clean-water side | Use the permitted water and solution method. |
| Dirty-water side | Empty and clean the removable tank as directed. |
| Pads, roller and tray | Inspect, clean and dry only as the manual allows. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not add vinegar or a kettle descaler to the tank without model-specific approval.
