WHY IS MY WATER COOLER LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM?.
95% OF ALL LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY THE FLOAT VALUE
THE FLOAT VALUE REGULATES THE FLOW OF THE WATER INTO THE TANK.
IF IT DOESN'T LOCK PROPERLY?.
THE TANK OVER FLOWS
THERE IS A SMALL GAP WHERE THE WATER SPILLS OVER TO THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE
THEN RUNS DOWN THE SIDES OUT OF A SMALL HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE MACHINE
THIS HOLE IS DESIGNED TO LET THE WATER THAT OVER FLOWS OUT...
SO THAT IS DOESN'T SIT IN THE BASE OF THE WATER COOLER
WHERE IT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ETC
CLEANING THE FLOAT VALUE IS SO IMPORTANT
THAT THIS SHOULD BE DONE EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE YOUR AWESOME WATER FILTER
RECOMMEND EVERY 6 MONTHS

FLOAT VALUE HOW TO CLEANClean the float under running water with
a NEW chux, do not use any soap or detergents. Especially focus on the treads where the two parts screw together. Clean the 2nd part of the float valve,
focusing on the treads THIS is where calcium often builds up in the threads thus causing the float not to lock properly. |
