Smoothly remove the water tank

Post by oton »

I Always have problems to remove the water tank and put it again. Perhaps could I put a little of Lubri-Film on the water connection o-rings to reduce the friction? However I'm afraid that some Lubri-Film could move to the boiler. What do you think?

I used a similar food grade lubricant on my o-rings. My reservoir goes in nicely now.

I don't see any issues, besides, you only need to use a very tiny amount on the rings.

Just don't use something silly like WD-40 :violent1: , since it's not food grade and may damage the o-rings.
