Troubleshooting

The solution is not changing colour.

Ensure the appliance has limescale deposits, and the solution is circulating correctly. If no colour change occurs, the system may not have significant limescale buildup, or the solution may not be reaching the affected areas. Consider a different descaling method.

Appliance performance hasn't improved after descaling.

Ensure you've followed the instructions correctly, and the appliance is thoroughly rinsed. If the problem persists, the issue might not be limescale-related. Check for other mechanical issues.
