Descaling the
1.2.3
PROBOIL4E like all other appliances that use hot water can become coated with limescale over time, replacing
your filter frequently will help delay this process, but not prevent fully it (even in areas with lower water hardness).
Depending on the frequency of your usage pattern and the harder the water in your area, the quicker you should expect
the limescale to build and therefore your product will need to be cleaned and descaled.
Only genuine parts and consumables must be used to maintain your product warranty, these are available at
proboil.co.uk or by calling (+44) 01226 283434.
If your PROBOIL is noisier that normal or the flow rate is reduced this is typically a good practical indicator that
the filter may need replacing and the boiler and aerator may need to be descaled, there are two key parts of the
product that likely will need regular descaling.

If the aerator at the end of the tap spout contains debris or scale then it will reduce the flow rate, cause dripping during
reheating of the water and may cause more splashing when in use.
The aerator and its housing can be descaled using ordinary white wine vinegar and water solution.
1) Press and hold the
through the spout for a few seconds so internal parts are cool to the touch.
2) Unscrew and remove the aerator housing (1) anti
clockwise (use rubber gloves if you need to get a
better grip).
3) Whilst holding the spout centre tube (4) pull the
aerator (2) away from the spout.
The method may vary depending on the model
installed.
4) Place the aerator (2) and if required the aerator housing (1) into a small cup sufficiently filled with white wine
vinegar and water.
5) Leave the parts soaking for around 5 minutes
6) Clean the scale from the parts using a non-abrasive tool such as a toothbrush. If the scale is not cleared repeat
step (4-5).
