I have a model MMPP4301 unit in my garage with a six tap tower and at the moment a very short run from the coolers to the tap of only about 20 feet. Yes, I know...a commercial system at home is crazy overkill but I got too good a deal on the equipment to pass it up. Plus, I have the coolest "kegerator" on the block.
I have a few questions. The system has been working flawlessly for over a year now, and I would like to keep it that way.
On the sight glass that's on the side of the reservoir, it has a mark about 8 or 9 inches up and then about an inch and a half above the mark. What is the correct level of glycol? I am keeping it about halfway up the little top part.
Do I have to keep the little filler hole covered? I keep a bit of aluminum duct tape on it just so nothing can crawl in. Is this OK or does it need to remain open for any reason?
Not being a commercial bar, I do have plenty of downtime and when I don't have a keg in the cooler I shut the whole thing down, sometimes for a few weeks. Is there anything I need to do?
Before I put it back into service it sat around for a year without running, but after I cleaned it up, it ran like a new machine. Even considering that, I want to avoid costly errors, so if there's anything I can do to avoid stressing the machine after a long shut off, I will.
Considering again that it's not running 24/7 365, should I still flush and replace the glycol every 18 months?
Thanks! I'm enjoying all the great information on here!
