any problems with the film may cause a leak. 
The provided vats are disposable. You can use 
them as long as the film is not pierced or the vat 
is not damaged. However if you wish to you can 
change the film. To change the film, see section

integrity of the vat, fill it with water and stand 
for 5 minutes on absorbent paper, look for leaks

objects on or under the film.
