How do you clean a bottled water dispenser?


I don’t find the taste right. Do I use a bleach and water mixture and then rinse several times?

    where the bottle sits is a cap….remove the cap by prying it up with something strong and flat ( screw driver or butter knife ) once removed u will see the water storage tank which holds about 1 gallon of water ( this is where the water gets cold ) this storage area can be cleaned out with a small amount of bleach ( about a table spoon ,,,,remember bleach is a poison and can kill so don’t us so much of it ) u can run some of the water mixture through the spout to clean it out also …wash out the storage area well and rinse out with a few gallons of clean water

    Clean all your bottled water dispensers with the same product you clean and disinfect your baby bottles in. Soak the bottles in this mixture overnight and rinse clean, adding a dash of lemon to the final rinse water. If there are yellow stains in the bottles, fill the bottle with warm water and drop 2 Steradent Tablets into the water ( the same tablets you use to whiten and clean dentures)

    Clean your water cooler every 6 weeks, or with every bottle change. Prepare a bleach solution by adding 1 tablespoon of bleach to every 1 gallon of water that you use. Unplug the water cooler from the wall and take off the empty bottle.
    Use a sponge to clean the inner surface of the water cooler with the bleach solution. Let it stand for no more than 5 minutes, then drain the bleach solution through the tap and into a bucket. Drain bucket down kitchen sink.
    Rinse out the bleach solution by filling the inner reservoir with water four times and washing it out through the tap and into a bucket.
