How often to clean Venta Airwasher Venta LW14, and how to cean it? Do I have to use H2O additive all the time?
Every 3 weeks change the water. Additive is not required
When you add water, you should notice bubbles (just a few) on top of the water. When the water no longer has bubbles, the additive is shot, and you should wash out the tank. We have dirty air, and it takes about 2 weeks for us. I spray it with Murphy's Soap to soak a few minutes and wipe it out with a sponge. Rinse. Spray the wheel similarly (all over) and spray with a kitchen hose, as hot as possible. You may have to repeat. I clean my wheel between tank cleaning, so it doesn't build up. You should use the additive, because the water has to be slippery to work with the wheel. Maybe you can find a different "wetting solution," that would be cheaper; Venta gets an arm and a leg for it. Good Luck. I like the performance of mine, but it is temperamental.
Further: The tank gets really sludgy, so do it in a sink, if you can. Ā Maybe you want to wear gloves. Ā I think the additive also has disinfectant and soap properties too, so my thought about making some is probably wishful thinking. Ā The top comes apart too, for sink washing, but of course, Unplug It !. Ā Draw a sketch of how everything goes back, and be careful with the silicon rubber nipple piece--it has to be seated exactly like it is now. Ā Good Luck.Ā
