Extra 16 -ounce Bag of Demineralizer Filter Resin Removes Minerials from Water Bottles with All Brands of Gravity Feed Irons

All gravity feed irons come with one bag of demineralizer resin, which should be poured in to the tap water container hung above your iron before use. You will need to purge the iron and water bottle of any resin residues before using the iron on any garment. Let the steam run continuously until all traces of any brown residue are gone, before steam ironing any fabric. When the demineralizer at the bottom of the water container turns darker, depending on time and use, replace with a new bag of deminerializer resin. If you wait too long to replace, the iron and solonoid will clog up with minerals and be impossible to clean out. Repairs can cost as much as a new iron if the solonoid (no longer clicks) has to be replaced. If the steam chamber gets clogged up, the only way to clean out is with hydrochloric acid which we do not handle. If you run out of demineralizer, use only distilled/demineralized water until you can get another bag of filter resin. Always clear the lines and iron of remaining water after and before use. Turn off any valve at the water bottle if you are going to leave it off for a long time. Remember to make sure there are no air bubbles in the clear hose from your water bottle to solonoid nipple on the iron before use.
