Topping off Aqua-Hot
Does anyone have a easy way to add fluid to the aquahot reservoir? It is in such an awkward spot I am having a tough time.
Thanks in advance
Deb

I do the same. Tried the funnel and hose. The cutoff bottle is much easier.

And it is recyclable with nothing to clean and put away.

Take the expansion tank off the wall by unscrewing the two screws. There is enough hose to easily add to the tank. Then reinstall.

How about a "Lab Wash Bottle":
Available from many sources.
Take care,

I use a coffee cup. The boiler fluid is food grade so no issues.
And before anyone jumps in. I rinse the coffee out before filling with fluid and rinse the fluid out before filling with coffee.

The guy who repaired ( rebuilt ) mine used a large funnel with a 4’ hose clamped on it
One thing to think about is you shouldn’t need to “add “ fluid .. it’s a closed system and if your adding , your leaking somewhere.

The Entegra's do not use a closed system. It is open and subject to evaporation. It is stated in the owners manual...if adding fluid often the anti freeze level should be checked with a refractometer.
