Hello!
If somebody could help me with this, I greatly appreciate it. We have
GC (3800) and MS (Saturn 2200).
When I am doing the Air/Water check, the blue bar for Air shows OK.
The blue bar for Water shows Massive.
How do I fix the water leak problem? Unfortunately this is happening
after the Varian technician did the maintenance of the instrument
which was sitting there idly for long time. Everything seemed fine
when he did the maintenance. If somebody could help with this, it will
be of great help.
Thank you
Sumangala

Not a specialist of Varian machines but as a general rule:

- Check carrier gas quality
- Check carrier gas filter(s)
- Check transfer line temperature (is it up?)
- Check analyzer temp
- Check every possible nut or screw
- Heat up the instrument for a while...

Hope this helps

Phil
