Hello,

I'm fairly new to line cleaning and have run into a couple of situations where customers use what I believe are called smart keg couplers. Anyway, they are the ones with three settings. I believe they are "ON", "OFF", and "CLEAN".

How are these supposed to work in the "CLEAN" position? Do you just remove the keg coupler from the keg, put it in the "CLEAN position, then submerge the coupler into a bucket of cleaning solution mixture then use the CO2 to draw the cleaner up through the faucet?

I'm thinking in the "CLEAN" position the CO2 source is still open, the path to the KEG is closed and the path towards the faucet is open permitting the flow of cleaning solution to the faucet.

Any information including other options will be appreciated. There's one situation I'm looking into where I know I can disconnect the KEGs from a wall mount and connect each line with a separate hose to a cleaning adapter. To do all 8 of these lines together I would need to fabricate 8 short hoses with female beer connectors on each end. Also, this means that the short line between the KEG and the wall wouldn't be cleaned .... only the long line from the wall to the faucet.

Thanks in advance for any input.
