How to Fix / Troubleshooting

- 1. Inspect reservoir: Remove and fill the reservoir over a sink to check for cracks or leaks. Replace if damaged.
- 2. Check reservoir valve and O-ring: Inspect the bottom valve and its O-ring for wear or deformation. Replace the O-ring or valve assembly if leaking.
- 3. Open base to inspect hoses: Remove the base and look for water trails. Tighten hose clamps and replace any cracked or swollen silicone hoses.
- 4. Inspect heater connections: Check where hoses connect to the heater tube. Replace any leaking gaskets or clamps.
