Hi Ameen Glad to hear that. I also had some teething problems with mine but fortunately the supplier, Kold Serve, was quite helpful and I am enjoying my Brewtus.
Kind regards Louis Fourie 082 808 0476 Jesus Christus leef en Hy is my Here Jesus Christ lives and He is my Lord From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mohammed Ameen Ally Sent: Thursday, 04 October 2018 14:53 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Many issues Hi there I did thanks I had the hose connected to a fat pipe running into my external tank coz I didn’t want to risk rusting the hose The water level in the fat pipe dropped to the tank meniscus level each time the pump stopped. When the pump started, it would entrain that air first, then the water. That air sucking caused the initial dip in pressure. So I chucked the fat pipe, threw the hose directly into the tank, bled out all the air I had sucked into the machine and voila Thanks for the message Regards Ameen Ally Cape Town On Thu, 04 Oct 2018 at 14:49, <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: On Thursday, July 5, 2018 at 2:16:03 PM UTC+2, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: Dear Friends Kindly advise me on a few issues I have been having with my 3 week old Brewtus IV-R running off a tank: 1. The grouphead sometimes does not get hot enough even after 40 minutes. It gets warm, but not hot, sometimes. 2. I think the rotary pump is noisier than it should be and the cups are now rattling which is new 3. When starting the shot, the pressure dips briefly before escalating to brew pressure. This happens consistently whether using coffee, blind disc or nothing (see video). 4. The water coming out of the grouphead has been cloudy of recent. 5. The grouphead lets out puffs of steam from time to time, mostly after a shot but also when just free running the group. These have splashed and burned on more than one occasion. 6. If I wire a 2 pin plug so that I can use my WiFi plug, there is current leakage and touching the machine gives you a small continuous shock. This disappears once a 3 pin earthing plug is used, but it obviously just means that the leaking current is being earthed, not that there is no leaking current. I was told not to worry about this if the machine is working fine. The machine is still under warranty and will be looked at soon. I just want to make sure I know what to tell the techs and that I don’t get persuaded to accept something abnormal as normal. Other details: the tank is a 5L tank behind the machine. No added parts such as flojet etc. Water is good quality spring water.

I would like to know if you had your issues with the Brewtus resolved. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
