1.4 Unpleasant Taste or Odor

Problem: Beverages have an off taste or smell after being dispensed.

Solutions:

  • Clean thoroughly: Regularly clean the dispenser with a mild detergent and rinse well to remove any soap residue.
  • Sanitize: Use a solution of water and bleach (1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water) to sanitize the dispenser. Rinse thoroughly after sanitizing.
  • Check for mold: Inspect the dispenser for any signs of mold, especially in hard-to-reach areas, and clean accordingly.
