First Cleanout

[Paramaniac413]

I ended up with some liquid leaking out the bottom of my GeniTank (through the air intake), so I decided to clean it out and switch to my EMOW Mega for now. I rinsed everything in hot water for the GeniTank and am letting it air dry and will put in a new coil once it's dry. Do I need to change the O-rings when I do a cleanout? Anything else special I need to do with everything (other than do some spins on my head while drinking a fanta from a drain spout )?

I clean mine out with rubbing alcohol first, then hot water. Seems to dissolve all the oil. If you're careful with the O-rings they should last. If the reassembled tank leaks, replace them. BTW, I have a small collection of Genitanks and they are my hands-down favorites.

It sounds like you got it covered, except for the Fanta stuff. Never ever touch that!
