EspañolWhen using beverage dispensers, although they seem simple in design, you can encounter some frustrating minor problems. This is especially true for the core component – the Metal Drink Dispenser Tap – which is most prone to issues if not properly maintained.

Common "minor problems" with beverage dispensers:
1. Leaking at the tap connection
This is the most common problem. Often, you'll find the bottom of the dispenser is always wet.
Reason: This is usually because the rubber gasket between the Metal Drink Dispenser Tap and the dispenser body is not properly positioned or not tightened enough.
Situation: Liquid will slowly seep out through the gap in the connection. If the gasket is old or deformed, even tightening it tightly won't completely stop the leak.
2. Increasingly slow water flow
Sometimes, even though there's plenty of liquid in the dispenser, the water flow from the tap is like a string of pearls, dripping out slowly.
Air pressure problem: This is usually not the tap's fault, but because the top lid is sealed too tightly, creating a "vacuum." You just need to slightly loosen the top lid to let air in, and the water flow will immediately return to normal.
Blockage problem: If you're using lemonade or drinks with pulp, fruit pulp fragments can easily get stuck in the internal filter or outlet of the Metal Drink Dispenser Tap, causing poor water flow.
3. Metal tap becomes "sticky" or rusty
Although many products are advertised as "metal," if the material is of poor quality or not cleaned properly, problems will follow.
Sugar residue: The sugar in the beverage, once dried, acts like glue, making the Metal Drink Dispenser Tap's switch very stiff and difficult to operate.
Rust spots: If acidic liquids (such as pure lemon juice or vinegar-based drinks) are stored for a long time, and the material is not high-quality stainless steel, rust spots may appear on the metal surface, affecting hygiene.
4. Residue remaining in the bottom "dead zone"
Many beverage dispenser designs raise the installation position of the Metal Drink Dispenser Tap slightly to avoid sediment at the bottom.
The awkward part: This means that every time you get to the end, a large amount of beverage remains at the bottom and won't flow out. You then have to tilt the dispenser, or even lift the entire dispenser to empty it completely, which is not only laborious but also likely to make a mess.
5. The gasket is moldy or has an unpleasant odor.
This is a hygiene hazard.
Hidden problem areas: Inside the Metal Drink Dispenser Tap and in the crevices of the sealing ring, fruit juice residue can easily accumulate if not disassembled and cleaned. Over time, these areas will turn black and moldy, directly affecting the taste and safety of the entire batch of beverages.
