I descaled my Brewtus III with Dezcal following John Brinkman's instructions :
Steam Boiler At operating temp 1. Switch machine off 2. Open water tap to remove as much water as possible from steam boiler, close tap again 3. Disconnect water level sensor (pull the wire off) 4. Open steam wand 5. Turn machine on, takes quite a while for the pump to fill up the steam boiler, water will start coming out of the steam tip when it is full 6. Switch off machine 7. Reconnect water level sensor 8. Switch machine on 9. Leave at operating temp for 1hr 10. repeat However, on step # 2 I Also got water out the group ( intervals of 1 minute), until no more water got out draining the brew boiler too.............. On step 5, after turning the machine on , after around 30 seconds there was a burn rubber smell for about 10 seconds, the the auto fill kicked and I continued the descaling process. At the end I run some of the water ith descaler through the brew head and I noticed that it had way less scale than the steam bolier which had around 2 8 ounce glasses of yellow water until the water became cristal clear. At the end I got a leak underneath the brew boiler's element ( around the nut).... Could be the element's gasket? I wonder if it is possible to take the element out without taking the boiler out of the machine........ Have you experienced something like it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
