The Daily Filter is similar to the Express Filter but includes additional cleaning steps to provide a more thorough vat cleaning. It differs in the following ways:

  • Includes steps to scrub and rinse the vat.

  • Provides the option to repeat the wash cycle as needed.

  • Delivers a more thorough cleaning of the vat.

  • Must be performed once each day to remove buildup and debris from the sides and bottom of the vat.
