Micromatic keg strip thingy.

Does anyone else get thiers to work?

Mine does not seem too, it's now on it's second keg and it shows pink all the way up even when the keg is empty. I used hot water to activate it like the instrutions said but it never seems to change to white unless hot water is touching it.

I am not too concerned about it, I don't mind reaching in to lift up on the keg to see how much is left, but it would be nice if I could make it work.

About the only time I've had mine work well is when I'm cleaning my lines. I have one of the cleaning bottles that you tap like a keg and I unplug the kegerator when I clean to defrost the cooling plate at the back. During the time that the door to the unit is open, the keg strip will show the level pretty well.

If it makes you feel any better, mine won't even stick on the keg. I once taped the top and bottom and it seemed to work alright....I suppose thats why this "high tech" piece of equipment is only $3 hahaha. Goodluck, let me know if you find any solutions.
Take it easy,

Mine seems to work fine. It stays pink too, but when I wipe it down with hot water, it turns white and give me an accurate reading.

I think it only gives a true reading immediately after being wiped down with the hot towel.

My micromatic keg strip has never worked, even when I wiped it down as instructed. After 6 kegs or so of it doing nothing I have stopped using it.
