Thanks for the suggestions. Out of curiosity - if I pull the heat exchangers, what would indicate they're in need of service? In other words, what should I be looking for? I suspect the debris floating around the water filters may be impeller bits. I love this site, by the way. I've gotten very good advice and I'm happy to be a part of the Uniflite owners group.
