hawkati Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 the hawk's reservoir is 30 years old and looks it - opaque to the point where it's difficult to see the level. What say y'all is the best way of cleaning & clearing it so it's a luvverly thing of RC31 goodness? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I had this with the bros from boxes. I initially used sterilising tablets in there, then a selection of domestic cleaning products, all of which helped things along nicely. Then I found the other reservoir in a box, which was much cleaner in the first place, so used that. HTH. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
