Is the liquid inside just colored water at low pressure?

No it's not colored water, it's a mixture of volatile liquids, i.e liquids that evaporate at room temperature. The pressure is low inside the boiler bulbs.

No, it's not water, but a mixture of volatile liquids - meaning that they vaporize at a low temperature. I don't know what the liquid mixture is, but when my first one I had broke, I wiped it up and there wasn't any problem with damage from the liquid and I didn't smell any fumes. It seems quite safe to me. Just understand that this produce is NOT for small children. If you'd like to know more about hand boilers, there's a Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_boiler.

No. As explained to me, it is a combination of volatile liquids, the boiling and evaporation points of which are a little above room temperature. These liquids are sealed in a glass container at low pressure. When heated slightly. gas forms pushing the colored liquid out of the lower bulb. I do not know what the "volatile liquids" are made of.

It's usually some sort of distilled water inside. Gel would mean the interior has a semisolid, which isn't the case.

It is opaque and you can see the water level, yes. When it gets close to empty you have to look more carefully though.

No...it's just a marker with white liquid that comes out when you press down on it. More like white-out.

Hi, S. I just looked at mine and it is like that only in the bottom where water has been sitting that didn't evaporate or get poured out completely. Are you making sure it's dry after each use? I suspect it may just be staining from gross minerally stuff in the water, but I'm no scientist.

NO. I think it is just water. Buy Glass Plus at your local grocery store. This product is totally worthless.

No. Only options are: descaling and reboil. Lights show whether boil or temp. maintenance is occurring.

No its not preloaded with fluid. And the boarder is more orange color than red.

Thanks.I should have updated this. We've been using less water and have been much happier with the results.\Anyone who is less than 100% satisfied should experiment a bit :-).-jpr

Mine is definitely all liquid and generally a thin liquid oil, golden yellow. Nothing solid at all.

I can't answer as I threw the bottle away some time ago as I still contend it is nothing more that colored water.

No. strictly opens the valve and mixes hot and cold water. Pressure is constant. There are different systems from Hans Grohe with separate pressure controls for pressure and temperature.

lab way is to get or make known salt concentration to see if reads similar other time. Solutions evaporate over time too. Distilled water should read very low too.

There is not. The color is the result of the two ingredients mixing in water. Whenever these two mix you have the color.

Hey Johnny, The pressure is good, but I had to return it after 5 uses because it stopped working. I've read the same complaints from water pic users. I liked the product overall. Maybe I just got a bad one.

I only use it inside - in front of my bathroom sink. Never had any yellow liquid leaching out of it from small drops of water. Not sure, but I believe this is an inside item. Sorry you are having a problem - I really think it's terrific.

I have only used the liquid. I have had no issues with it. Works great. It has a built in measuring tool.
