Draining Laser

Post by Al51Williams »

Hi
I'm about to go off on summer holidays from our 6th Form College. I am minded to drain the tank as I expect it will be a bit furry by the time I get back. But the tube does not seem to be draining. Will this present a problem? If i just top up again at the end of August when I get back and add a few drops of Milton will this do the trick?

pretty much :) draining is good as it keeps bacteria down but a quick flush through when you get back with a drop of milton will be good as well.

Just don't do the old trick of forgetting it's been drained and try starting the tube up ;)

best wishes

I would stick it over the screen, or over the key etc. Anything that you must remove to first use it.
