if you are going to be leaving your BIBO home alone for an extended period of time, it’s a good idea to turn the water and power supplies off. It will keep the date and time, as well as any of your programmed settings. When you get back simply turn the water and power supplies back on and dispense around 5 litres of water on the hot and cold side to flush through.
Yes, please do! Both the Maxi Filter and the UV Lamp are fully recyclable and you can just pop them in your normal household recycling.
Our filters do not remove the minerals that cause limescale but the hot tank has been designed to keep those minerals in suspension so that the elements inside do not become furred. We have actively avoided using an anti-scale “dosing” system, unlike our major competitor, because we do not believe that adding anti-scale chemicals to the water is the best option for the creation of pure water.
We offer a hot tank cleaning kit to descale your hot tank and we recommend you do this every 6 months regardless of the hardness of your water.

No! The beauty of the BIBO is that it’s a plumbed in water machine. It automatically refills as you take water from it, so it is always ready to give you both hot and chilled water.
Simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Your drip tray can be removed and put in your dishwasher.
