After almost 2 years of ownership my Brewtus has finally developed a leak. Please note in the attached how the plastic tube is fed from steam boiler to heat exchange on the brew boiler. http://wholelattelove.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/11/24/Why-a-double-boiler-machine-can-be-so-much-fun The issue in my case, this tube leans agains the edge of the brew boiler and overtime melted through and developed a tiny hole. I have to replace it with the one that is feeding cold water to the steam boiler, which was installed differently - having a tube loop going up where it can not touch any hot surfaces. The damaged tube was cut in half, heat flared and fitted back to the steam boiler intake. The length was not important as Brewuts is using external rotary pump.
My point is: it may be worth opening your Brewtus and checking whether you are about to have the same issue as i had. It is very easy to turn the tube loop upside down to avoid having puddle under the machine. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
