Brilio.net - Mineral water is an important need to maintain body health. Gallons are a practical solution to store large amounts of drinking water hygienically. The use of gallons is increasingly popular among modern society.
Dispenser is a tool commonly used to take water from a gallon. Electric gallon pumps are available as an alternative with a smaller and more portable size. The compact design makes it easy to use electric pumps in various places.
Electric gallon pumps have two main components, namely an engine and a hose. The pump engine works using battery power or electricity to heat the air in the gallon. Water flows through the hose after the air heating process is complete.
Continuous use of electric gallon pumps can cause hygiene problems. The hose is the most vulnerable part to dirt because it is often exposed to water. Moisture that occurs in the hose has the potential to cause unpleasant odors and mucus.
Modern electric gallon pumps are equipped with high-quality lithium batteries. The battery life is capable of pumping up to 10 gallons of water on a single charge. The battery recharge time required is relatively short, which is 3 hours.
BrilioFood report from YouTube Karmidi on Friday (12/27), the kitchen ingredient used is lime. However, before it is ready to use, you must remove the hose from the pump. The method is simply to pull the hose slowly. That way, the hose will come off.

After that, prepare water in a basin. Then put the hose into the water. If so, take a lime and cut it into several pieces. Next, rub the outside of the hose using the lime pieces.

While scrubbing, squeeze the orange directly at the end of the hose so that the juice can enter. Then scrub using the help of a straw brush that has thin bristles. That way, the mucus and unpleasant odor in the hose will disappear.
Once scrubbed like that, rinse the hose with clean water. After that, dry it using tissue. The dry pump hose can be directly installed into the engine section for reuse.

For maximum results, it is best to wash the hose this way once every 2 weeks. That way, the pump hose will be more durable and not easily mossy . Water drunk through this hose will also be more hygienic.

"Yesterday I tried soaking a pump hose that smelled of rubber, I soaked it in a mineral water bottle for about 3 days. After the rubber smell disappeared, I rubbed it with lime/lemon juice, let it sit for about 5 minutes then rinsed it with mineral water again. Ready to use, no more unpleasant odors. EFFECTIVE," said YouTube @inayahnadiaputri5454.
