  • Siliva - Crack in plastic tube

    Hi All, just discovered a crack in the plastic tube (where the water goes), needless to say it is leaking.

    So I am looking at what are the options?

    I cant find where to buy a replacement? coffee parts doesnt have it on their website.

    Maybe fixing it? what type of glue?


    Thanks for your help,

    maybe try:
    I just discovered a crack in the plastic tube that goes from the [fill in here] to the [fill in here] .

    Finding a food-grade sealant will be difficult, and patching a pressure hose will be really tough. There are suppliers in the US that can help, but find out where you machine would be sent for warranty work there ( wherever there is) and they can probably assist you.

        Am sure parts will be available some where... However depending on the exact material type, there are any number of repair / weld kits that you might be able to try..

          Ahhh... That makes a big difference. Form the way it felt, I think that the reservoir is made from polyethylene or polypropylene, or similar. Most adhesive products, even those made for plastics, will not stick well to that. You can try "Shoo Goo" or a similar product, reinforces with a bit of fiberglass cloth or silk fabric, but I am not sure it will stick. If the plastic can be melted, you might be able to mend it by using some scrap plastic and patching it with heat. maybe with a swatch of discarded milk carton or some plastic stock from a hobby store.
