Thank you for making this video. It felt like home. Like I was watching my grandfather do one of his fixer uppers of things around the house. Now I know how to clean our water tank to make sure my family has clean water. Your help will not be forgotten.

[@PaffordHomestead]

Glad I could help

[@sochoa2362]

Just my luck! Same exact model as mine! Had some floaters in the water this morning and was thinking about it all day. I just poured some water and vinegar and tried flushing it but still had floaters. Good thing I found this video because I didn’t know I can take the white insert out. Helped a million! Thank you!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Glad it helped you....

[@karenhinnrichs9967]

Thank you so much for making this video because I couldn’t figure out how to clean it and I just did it with your step-by-step. You should be a teacher

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thank You very much 💗

[@loritrudeau5301]

Thank you so much for this video. I have the same water dispenser and wasn't sure how to clean, now I do!!!

[@CeeFlores713]

You sir, are one of my favorite people on the internet! You've just got yourself a fan for life!!

[@wendylizano7059]

Wow thank you so much for your help, you are the best.

[@Bunnie1337]

I'm back here again after almost a year cause it's time to clean it. This video is the best for cleaning the dispenser. Easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to show this!❤

[@PaffordHomestead]

Your awesome to come back to watch it again I'm happy that it helped you ❤️

[@melvinramirez1977]

Everything about this cleaning video feels really warm & homely with grandpa, I never met my grandpa, God bless.

[@philipe5363]

Thanks for the video. I had a woodsy taste and smell to my water. I first used the primo instructions on their website(which also had a video), however this video helped me pull more of the dispenser apart, to which I found more of the woodsy smell. Did some more flushing and hard cleaning of the "guts" and hopefully solved my issue.

[@Juvnrvmos]

Life saver! Just cleaned out the same model using your video, just like you said “thank god for youtube” 😂💪🏼 thank you guys

[@PaffordHomestead]

You're welcome!

[@withurshield931]

We just started getting debri in ours. I was afraid I would have to dismantle the whole thing to get to the hoses. Glad I found this video first. Thankyou for posting this video, probably just saved me from a headache.

[@PaffordHomestead]

Glad I could help!

[@AG-yv8yb]

Great video. Have no floaters but noticed a mold smell in water. I've found this video very helpful. Thumbs up and TY!!!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@Truthosaurus]

Put down a milk crate. Put a piece of wood like plywood on top, put the unit on top. Makes for less back.breaking dispensing)) God Bless. Got one of those as a birthday gift 10 years ago. One of the best gifts ever! Also dont forget to fully empty the reservoir. The tap is on the back. Pop the cork and drain that baby!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Great tip!

[@sangrecold]

THANKS !!! I bought mines of a used store and have tried everything to clean it dirty stuff would come out you are the only video to teach me to take it apart and found all the gunk!!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Glad it helped you ❤️

[@Applecoco5]

Did it help clean your tank? Got mine from a thrift store as well.

[@Anabelseverydayadventures]

Thank you for posting this! I have had this water cooler for years and have never cleaned it and today it dawned on me I should probably clean it. So now I know how thanks to you guys! 😊

[@PaffordHomestead]

Glad I could help!

[@ozzie3056]

How did it look?

[@riograndelily8344]

I popped off the front and the little tray where the water sits was slimy. Gave it a good ol wash and that was that. Thank you so much. Thought I was going to have to buy another water dispenser. You Sir saved me 100. dollars or more. Thank you.

[@PaffordHomestead]

I am glad it helped you out

[@Samuelfish2k]

How do you pop the front off without breaking it?

[@fabiolagonzalez5905]

Thanks for all your perfect explanation....now it's time to clean my water dispenser...thanks a lot!!

[@dlf1976]

This was very helpful. Thank you. Your little helper is adorable!

[@PaffordHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@shasmi93]

I love this man everything about him. He’s a clean freak, like me and tears random stuff apart to clean it and his accent is hilarious. This video is also perfect. Good stuff. All around.

[@PaffordHomestead]

Wow, thank you

[@stacis2520]

I found on the primo website they said to put 2 cups of vinegar in 2 gallons warm water or 2 tbsp bleach in 2 gallons warm water and let it sit 10 min before flushing it through then rinsing. BUT, I couldn’t find a video how to take this specific dispenser apart. Thank you!!!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thank you for the information too ❤️

[@gabrielperez3619]

I love this man. I love how he says, "won't hurt nothing"

[@marywilliams-pk9xc]

Thank you so much for this video. I bothered used water dispenser 4 months ago. It's been sitting there getting dusty. Thank you for letting me know how to disinfect it because I didn't want to use it if I didn't do that

[@PaffordHomestead]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching

[@gogetter4491]

Thank you soooo much! This video was extremely helpful! I was able to clean the holding tank for the water and I ran water through both hot and cold until they ran clean! Thank you again!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Your welcome glad it was helpful ♥️

[@wilhelminamagdalenakapatow3213]

[@PaffordHomestead]

Yes the smell is wonderful 😂

[@donaldcampbell5277]

[@PaffordHomestead]

[@leroyprince8878]

Good video, i need to clean ours, thank you for posting this... We've had our Primo dispenser for 12 years, still works like new, but I think it needs cleaning...

[@PaffordHomestead]

You're welcome!

[@LisaSmith-kk2ob]

Thanks for this video...and yes I watched the whole video! I have been thinking about getting a water cooler and I was looking at a Primo like this one so this video was perfect and helped answer some concerns I had. I really love your videos!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thank you for watching ❤️

[@patriciasimpson3568]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, you have the same kind I have, I couldn't figure it out. Your a blessing 🙌

[@BlackBeltDemon]

Video is a god send. Thank you! Any advice on how to clean under the rubber “washer” inside of the circular part we popped off the top? Thanks!!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Yes mine pops off, not sure on that.

[@BlackBeltDemon]

Perfect, thank you! I wasn’t sure if it should be removed but I’ll give it a try. Also thanks for the reply!! ❤

[@fky0f33lins]

After all these months of me forgetting how to clean this i always come back to this video lol .. thanks 😊

[@MsJimmylau]

[@diamondgreenchoreoqueen]

Such a nice and genuine man! Love the way he talked to little Olive! She looks like him❤❤❤❤

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thank you so much. Autumn does look so much like him.

[@diamondgreenchoreoqueen]

@@PaffordHomestead thanks I couldn’t tell if he said Olive or Autumn. Such a cutie. Both of them! Love at the beginning how he swooped his hair!

[@isaacso]

thank you sir! i never know you had to clean it. i just thought you had to buy a new filter for inside of it.

[@marcmac8944]

I have the same dispenser. Thank you for sharing . Didn’t know you could take the lid off . 🤦🏾 Grateful

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thank you for watching. I am so glad this video is helping people out keep on homesteading

[@nerryjimenez6530]

Thank you so much for the video! I got to clean the water cooler with your help, easy! thank you again, I have the same one! Blessings, Nerry Jimenez

[@PaffordHomestead]

I am so glad we could help

[@cristian9087chn]

the best part of the video, besides of learning how to clean the water tank. is seeing that baby playing around.

[@PaffordHomestead]

Yes she is so much fun, Thank You for watching ❤️

[@JustCallDavid]

100% this is a great video! not even Primo has one like this! :)

[@blcmxcn]

Yes!! That baby made me cook up some bacon. Lol

[@virhil61]

Thank you for your help.

[@whiterose3504]

❤thanks for making video having a top load primo water and was looking for directions on how to clean it myself

[@PaffordHomestead]

I am so glad this helped you

[@dominicktsosie5545]

Hell yeah, thanks pops

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@faustredeemed406]

The nozzles I think you could just clean them with a brush to get any yucky gunk out. It seems to gather around the inside of the spout, so it’s not to hard to clean.

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thank you for the information..

[@blcmxcn]

I use a toothbrush to clean the nozzles. It really gets in those nooks and hard to reach places.

[@daynaleaverton5835]

Thank you so much we just cleaned our cooler! Thanks for all your help!

[@PaffordHomestead]

@@daynaleaverton5835 your welcome glad it helped 😊

[@closthegreat1455]

You gotta drain it from the back as well but make sure not to loose the plug lol I just lost it and gotta wait for the part.

[@PaffordHomestead]

I didn't know it had a drain plug in the back I will have to check it out next time I clean mine

[@xsinfulxdiseasex]

Thank you for this video sir! I have been looking all over glad I'm not the only one

[@PaffordHomestead]

Your very welcome ❤️

[@HEADBANGRR]

Hello can you please tell me the water reservoir is made of stainless still aluminum? Great info Thank you

[@PaffordHomestead]

Looks stainless to me

[@HEADBANGRR]

@@PaffordHomestead okay thank you

[@amandameza4385]

Thank you for the educational video I never knew my water machine came apart that way but I'm so glad to find this out. PS the baby throughout the video is so dang cute!

[@PaffordHomestead]

Thank you so much she is a hand full. I am glad this helped you.

[@memaw1958]

just wanted to let you know your video helped me about 3 times running clean tap through water looks clean and smell good to TY :)

[@PaffordHomestead]

[@wellergurl]

GREAT video...going to try it right now. FEEL BETTER BRANDI 🤗

[@pattygibson3982]

Thanks for the video. I’m going to wash my dispenser now. Take care.

[@am77724]

The insert in the middle should just pop up too right?

[@am77724]

The funnel I believe its called, mine is stuck shouldn’t it just pop off? Ive done this before with your help here but im stuck now

[@PaffordHomestead]

Yes twist and pull

[@am77724]

Thank you sorry it was just too icy 😓

[@Turtle.D]

Lol hope she got nonstuck 🤣 was the cutest thing . Thanks 4 this video...we have the same kind so gonna try this out and cleaning all the pieces also with dawn .

[@Eccentricvoice77]

Thank you for this video. I have a model close to this one. I am going to clean mine this evening. It was hilarious when you didn't remember which way the piece of plastic went. "Let's rewind the video" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks again!!

[@LONESTARPIONEERING]

I wander if you clean the burkey filters

[@PaffordHomestead]

??? I had to Google it it's spelled Berkey water filter I'm sure you would need to clean the canister part....

[@BurningSkele99]

Thank you for this video! Helped my mom clean it for the first time :)

[@PaffordHomestead]

I'm happy it helps ❤️

[@adalbertofernandez2293]

I cleaned it the same and it came out dirty the same but only on the hot water side I suppose also because that is little used but thank you very much for your video

[@chandra3500]

Thank you for this, I really appreciate it! I didn't even know I could pop the top off. I noticed things floating and couldn't figure out what in the world it was so I went searching KZbin and found your video. Problem solved! Also...whatever it is that looks like hair wasn't yours, I found the same looking thing and it was white. Well, I haven't gone gray yet and I knew it wasn't mine 😊. Once again...thank you.

[@PaffordHomestead]

@chandra3500 Thank You 😊

[@ivanaalmeida576]

I washed my water dispenser and did all that but I’m still seeing the floating in the water. What I supposed to do please?

[@PaffordHomestead]

Run some more vinegar through it....

[@mizzteareacts9397]

I watched a bunch of videos . Yours was easier to follow ! Thanks !

[@bandit68]

Thank you for sharing... everything I needed to know was right here...

[@PaffordHomestead]

Anytime 😊

[@megansunshine2349]

The white piece in my dispenser won’t come out. How did you take yours out so easy?

[@PaffordHomestead]

Ours just pulled out, see if it will turn and pull.....

[@megansunshine2349]

@@PaffordHomestead I got it. Lol I held down the dispenser while pulling it out. Which I wasn’t doing in the first place. Thank you

[@staceytaylor6258]

Thank you for your assistance. It truly helped me out.

[@PaffordHomestead]

You are very welcome

[@ayalisignal4891]

So much I felt like my water was like tasting weird and then watching your video I saw that I had like mold down in there Thank you so much this helped a lot

[@LindaSimpkins-i5g]

I took the reservoir apart to clean it after it sat in the shed, there is a plastic L that I can't figure out where it goes. It's under the "plate with the bottle puncher but not sure where it belongs....please HELP

[@PaffordHomestead]

I'll have to go back and look at mine so give me a couple of days to get to it....

[@PaffordHomestead]

I made another video see if it helps...

[@victorcisneros.1196]

Min 9:50 Exactly the same thing happened to you as me. I forgot which part was up or down. 😄

[@rkgsd]

Do you think it's a good idea to clean it before first use?

[@PaffordHomestead]

If you want just run some water through it could have dust or other thing in it from sitting in the store...

[@rkgsd]

@@PaffordHomestead I wound up running about a half gallon of water/vinegar through the reservoir for the heck of it. I know Primo says to fill an empty 5 gallon bottle with 2 gallons of water with bleach or vinegar but didn't think that was necessary. I washed the two removable parts by hand. Thanks!

[@tsw6455]

You forgot to take the blue plug from the back of the machine to drain the hot water tap. BE CAREFUL and have a pot ready to catch the hot water when you remove the plug!!!! This is where I noticed a lot of debris/trash as well. Hope that helps

[@PaffordHomestead]

I didn't see a blue plug Thank You I will look for it.

[@patriciasimpson3568]

@@PaffordHomestead I didn't either could you let us know where it would be ?

[@FloMo14]

Thanks…mine was red, but I also noticed debris that came out once i took the screw out

[@prosperity.]

Yes.. this model has a red plug! and has to be unscrewed.. before unplugging, have a bucket or pot ready. Excellent video, & helpful tip from @tsw6455 & @FloMo14 ❤
