When descaling, does the ionizer have to be switched on or unplugged so that only the pump has power?

Q: When descaling, does the ionizer have to be switched on or unplugged so that only the pump has power?

[hr] Hello Mr. Akgün, I have a question - I have to descale my AquaVolta Eos Genesis next month. When descaling, does the ionizer have to be switched on or unplugged so that only the pump has power? Otherwise I'm super happy with the device. Kind regards- Klaus E. [hr] Answer Yasin Akgün on May 19, 2016: Hello Mr. E., Thank you for your question, which I would be happy to answer. Theoretically, you can leave the power plug on and leave the device in standby mode. For safety reasons we have to advise against this in the instructions. But in practice it is even necessary because at the beginning of the descaling you first run water through the ionizer in order to remove the air bubbles from the pipes/outlets, as these tend to interfere with descaling and the pump can then have difficulties. to circulate the citric acid solution through the system. It can also happen during descaling that the circuit is interrupted and you have to turn on the water ionizer for a short time to get water through. When descaling, carbon dioxide bubbles are created, which can also disrupt the pump. Please note: Always operate the ionizer in filtered mode during the descaling process. You don't have to turn on the electrolysis with the citric acid. Further information and videos can be found on this page: http://www.aquacentrum.de/ionisiererwartung/ Hope this helps you.
