I just bought mine and used it for 2 weeks. The burnt and rusty taste in the water is not going away. Is there a fix for this?

I use water from the tap. We are making 1 or 2 Gallons a day. The water tastes great, but so does the water from the tap. Our tap water has a ph of 8.5-8.6 and I wanted a more neutral ph. The distlled water is 6.8 or 6.9. Every few weeks I boil water with the citric acid they provided, and keep boiling until all sediment is dissolved. I rinse prior to each use. I clean the stainless on the top when I boil the water and change charcoal filter once a month. I suppose you could run the water through another filter prior to filling, but we don't need to do so.

We use filtered water from our refrigerator to get rid of the other tastes. When we put in a new copper line for a pot filler we didn't had to use the fridge filter any more.

I've been using distillers for many years and have never noticed a burnt or rusty taste. I don't use the charcoal filter which you could try if you haven't already. Maybe it's something in your water. I use it with both well water and city water and never notice any difference in the end product. Maybe it's my age over 80 and my senses have deteriorated along with my joints.

Yes. Don't let all the water steam away. Then the gunk leftover from water stays in the bottom of dry machine burning before the machine turns off. Just unplug the machine before it's empty.

Hi i bought the filters from the mazin site itself, later on i stopped because the whole ionpod bottle is getting rusty at the top after 2 to 3 monthes.

Hi Carlos. I don't have that problem. I am not a chemist, but are you sure a filter can improve the taste of your water? Do you have that problem with other faucets in your house? Are you using the hot water frequently enough or does it sit in the tank for too long? Is it set too hot? Good luck.

I haven't - it's probably deposits from your water supply adhering to the kettle while it's boiling I use only RO water (reverse osmosis) in my kettle and it looks brand new after more than a year of daily use. Try cleaning it with some CLR - that stuff works great on rust and hard water deposits

I've been using it for about a month and haven't noticed a change in taste. Although I'm also no water connoisseur. If. It only occurs while in your fridge, possible it's due to other food odors.

I'm guessing that it has a "funny" taste when you fired it up the first time? If so, it's because you didn't let it sit for 24 hours after you took it out of the box. During transit, if it's turned upside down or on it's side, the gear oils run everywhere. Letting it sit for twenty-four hours before starting keeps it from tasting awful. Otherwise, I use vinegar to clean mine out once a month. And I only use filtered water to make ice.

I have had my coffee maker for slightly over 2 months but have not yet experienced any rust on theburner. However I make certain to wipe the burner area dry whenever it gets wet so the any moisture does not just sit on the burner for any length of time. So far so good.

I think the directions said you had to run quite a bit of water when you first replace the filter. We did that and had no problems with the taste. Hope it gets better.

I have the same grill and have used it a couple of times a week for years. No smell or odd taste. Perhaps it has something to do with what you washed it with or maybe it wasn't rinsed enough?

Try running a tank of vinegar through it. I always use distilled water. If it's over a year old might be time for a new one.

Mine tasted a little funny the first few water fills, but was fine after that. I use bottled water in mine. You could try running a batch of vinegar water through it, just make sure you run a couple batches to rinse it well.

Time for a new iron. The main water container has a pinhole size hole in it. Sometime the water contaminates cause this. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Finkcreek

This is our second Kettle. The first one lasted for many years before it needed to be replace. I checked our latest one (which we have used for several months) and there is no rusting on the vent straw. Not sure what would cause that. Perhaps it's the water? Just a thought.

The bad taste is only if you did not follow the directions and purge the system correctly. If you are a manly man like myself this may be an issue. If you follow the directions and don't do what so many of us do then the water is amazing.... Truly... I have had mine now for 3 years without an issue. Several bypassed the UV because it was heating the water when it sat in the system for a long time. The newer system and the sensor they were nice enough to send to previous customers, has fixed it from heating the water because it now turns on and off. This makes it an on demand type of thing.

I have not had this problem. Is your Water Pik old? I just replaced mine with the new model. It is much better than the old one. Lighter and quieter.
