User blog comment:Alanminibrewer/2 way valve for cleaning tube/@comment-90.255.149.94-20200501084109

From reading other posts I now know why I get this lack of water flow. After every brew I tip the the base on its side to empty the water within it. I do this because of possible Legionella and I have seen mould grow at the base of the domed filter and around the narrow recess there into which the yellow seal sits. I figure that if the base unit is to be left awhile then it needs to be dry internally. Otherwise you get a complex biofilm developing on the walls of the tubes. We had this at work and it results in this deposit detaching and you see what looks like dead black worms. Not very nice. So I will carry on drying whilst I can still lift it. Cheers
