    Default FOBs

    When cleaning draft lines, I have one line out of six that the FOB float sticks. Is there a secret to getting it to float after the keg is reconnected. I thought I knew all the tricks but normally this one line always gives me a fit, is there something I can do to the FOB to help this?

    If the FOB is cleaned regularly, there should not be any performance issue other than it is not mounted plumb vertically. Normally the issue is not with the FOB but with the system set up. Switch FOB to another location and this may determine for you if it is truly the FOB. Tell us which FOB (manufacturer) you are using and specifics on the system - temperaure, gas pressure and source, etc.

    When you clean system do you disassemble and clean the FOB, it may surprise you what is not visable in an FOB. L. Tapper
