Water tank for CALOR steam irons
The water tank stores the water for the steam iron. In most cases you have to fill the tank with demineralised water. This part is essential to the machine: it will supply water to a pressurised tank, which in turn makes the iron work. Usually detachable, the tank provides unlimited autonomy when ironing, as it can be re-filled during use (without having to switch off the appliance). Its role is thus to store the water until such a time as it is pumped and converted into steam!
The tank may rust, leak or even break down. If this is the case, it will need to be replaced.
If water leaks from the tank, it will undoubtedly have a chip or hole in it. Check whether this is the case by removing the tank if it is detachable, or examine it directly.
If the leak is the result of damage to the tank, replace it.
Note: it is possible that water is leaking from the tank because it is overfilled. Generally speaking, a maximum level indicator will allow you to verify this. If the quantity of water inside the tank exceeds this limit, empty some of the water!
