TREATMENT AND CARE: A MUST READ

How to prevent and/or solve problems related to metal pour.
CAOUTCHOUC SEALING.
A leakage of liquid will occur if the crown seal of the metal pour becomes detached, usually at the time it is removed from the bottle. A good system to avoid the inconvenience is as follows: slightly move the rubber from under the steel ferrule, immerse the metal pour in hot water at 40-45°C and let it soak for 5 minutes, remove it from the water and push up the rubber gasket until it adheres to the metal part. Allow it to dry and proceed to the usual use.
Removing the gasket completely may result in constant leakage, because the rubber does not have a 'memory' effect (like rubber or plastic) and may no longer adhere to the water and air passage tubes, which is why they should be rinsed by only moving the rubber down half an inch and not by pulling it all the way off. It is also a good idea to avoid using lemon or vinegar-based cleaners, because rubber is sensitive to acid and tends to stiffen, losing its elasticity and decreasing its grip on the bottle neck.
SIGNS OF OXIDATION
The metal pour may also show some oxidation, especially under the steel ferrule and in the area of the welds or joint of the metal parts. This is not rust, as chemically neither steel nor brass, the compnents from which the product is made, create rust. Oxidation could appear either brown/black or whitish in color, and is created by the accumulation of sugar and the use of harsh detergents, which are harmful to chrome plating, bending and soldering. Proper washing prevents the problem from occurring. In case it has already occurred, we recommend gently scraping off oxidation with a small iron brush or small blade until you locate the underlying brass or chrome plating. The brass that appears will have a rust-like color, but it is nothing more than the natural color of this material.
