Citric acid for descaling bottles, ionizers, kettles, etc.
The citric acid is used to descale water ionizers and other household appliances.
From our point of view, it is still the gentlest descaler that does not have too low a pH value and is also food-safe, meaning it does not pose a danger to the human body. Only if it gets on the skin or in the eyes can it irritate them.
This is not the case, for example, with aminosulfonic acid or most other descalers. Some of these water ionizer descalers have a pH value below pH2, which we believe is too dangerous for the housewife.
It is better to use high doses and use a lot of water for descaling instead of using other descalers that are sometimes aggressive and harmful to health. Small splashes when descaling your ionizer are almost unavoidable. For this reason, when descaling, the outlet of the ionizer should be positioned as close as possible to the container with the descaling solution and the submersible pump.

Descaling on-table and under-table water ionizer | Alkaline hydrogen water is rich in alkaline minerals (Ca, Mg, Na, Ka, ..) - so limescale is an issue, just like in the kettle!
Is calcium in water good or bad for the organism?
Every water ionizer must be descaled regularly. How often depends on the following factors:
- Water hardness, i.e. the lime content of your tap water: – the harder your water, the faster the device can calcify
- Water flow: – the slower the faster the device becomes calcified
- Which ionization level is used: – At the highest level, the device calcifies faster than at the weaker ionization levels.
- The limescale protection mechanism that is used. Very few water ionizers are well protected against calcification of the electrode plates. The water ionizers that are well protected against limescale include the AquaVolta® Moses 7, Alle EOS and Alkamedi (or in Germany Aquion) water ionizer brands

How do I descale a water ionizer flow regulator (rotary regulator) | e.g. Moses-7, ECA-Plus, Aquion, Dion Family, Nexus?
If you own one of the water ionizers listed below, be sure to watch this video.
In short: Make sure that the pump can pump the citric acid solution into the filter. The rotary control should therefore always be set to OFF, i.e. in the off position. The following water ionizers have a flow control dial and are descaled analogously:
Descaling ionizer with flow regulator | Nexus X Blue > The predecessor of the AquaVolta® Moses 7
This video shows the individual descaling steps that must be observed, especially for water ionizers with flow regulators.
According to the latest experience, you can only descale in one pass, you don't have to turn the ionizer on and off between descaling.
The duration can also be extended up to 4 hours depending on the level of use and calcification. If there is severe calcification, please replace the citric acid solution after an hour.
Descaling does not harm the water ionizer in any way. It's exactly the opposite, descaling is good for any water ionizer as long as you use citric acid and not acetic acid.
Descaling a water ionizer with an ON-OFF solenoid valve
Most of the water ionizers that our customers mainly buy are the ones with a solenoid valve. These are ideal for permanent installation with a T-piece. At the push of a button, the water ionizers produce the last set ionization level because you remember it. In addition, the flow rate is fixed, which ensures that even small children can and will operate the system safely. We have Evidence videos.
The following water ionizers are among the models that have an ON-OFF solenoid valve:

We have offered the citric acid at an extra low price so that you don't have to pay a lot of money to wait for additional products and products like other manufacturers. It's not expensive either, we buy it as a wholesaler and therefore offer you this unbeatable price at.
