Water Miser Caps [RE-wrenches]

[Windy Dankoff, Dankoff Solar]

<x-flowed>>There are several misconceptions about Water Miser Safety Vent Caps 
>and Hydrocaps. . .
>
>Never bake hydrocaps in the oven - it will turn the carbon in the 
>block to black dust. Take a hydrocap apart and you will see two 
>carbon cylinder blocks with a platinum screen sandwiched in between. 
>Baking, equalization charges, or overcharging can turn the carbon to 
>charcoal dust if it doesn't melt to plastic first.

My recommendation to bake after about 5 years of use was based on 
factory advice, and I think it was only 250°F. It restores the 
system. Ask the factory!

Thanks Tom.
