Andrey,
I think Yandi is probably right and you should do a resistance measurement on the heating element to confirm. Extracting the boiler element, for me, required a 120 lb air-driven impact wrench. I think I read earlier that your machine is a BII and many of those element threads were treated with a glue type sealer. Don’t recall the size of the nut. You could probably get it loose with a ½” breaker bar with an iron pipe attached for extra leverage. Short answer, it’s a serious task. I’ll let others answer the question about descaling.

How easy is removing / replacing brew boiler element? Also, I am guessing my brew boiler has plenty of this white sludge now - how do you get it out - descale? Thanks.

Is water from water dispenser pulled from a different boiler? That water is perfectly clear. Of course I have yet to drain that boiler.

Then after he called me. I found out the heater cracked and all what he drank was whatever white substances inside the heater tube. Like my brewtus 3, after 15 years of service, the pump start to weaken and more water spit out than it can suck into the tank, it could be culprit if you ever suspect weak pump sound. So no water or too little makes the heater cracked inside. You might wanna check the resistance of the heater. But I couldnt tell you what it supposed to read there for the brewtus. Try Google or somebody else can tell here. Regards, Yandi Lombok, Indonesia.

Why would there be bubbles all of the sudden after so many years? Bubbles usually come from the water, so water change recently? It might not be that, but it's worth checking because it's easy to check and confirm. -- Ira -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
