Hi there. I just love these instructional videos. Just brilliant. Just wondering if you could do a tutorial on replacing the auto turner. The screws on the auto turner are starting to rust because of the high humidity and I want to be prepared. Just in case. I would be grateful for the screw size and type so I can replace them myself. Great products which I recommend to everybody. Two friends have recently bought them at my recommendation and they love them. I’ve even hatched turkeys in my mini and maxi incubators - although I know it’s not recommended. Both had 100% hatch rates.
Very good video, main con of this machine is fan ,otherwise it a wonderful incubator. I am using these (have two) since 2017. Can you tell me how to restore it to factory settings? I am facing problem on calibration.
Hi Kathleen, we suggest you use a water-based disinfectant, do not use an alcohol based disinfectant. If you need more help please email Brinsea in USA, sales@brinsea.com. Kind regards, Brinsea.
Hello Barb, we use Brinsea Concentrated Disinfectant: brinsea.co.uk/accessories-consumables-spare-parts/consumables-spare-parts/incubation-disinfectant-concentrate-100ml/ - you dilute it, a little bottle goes a long way! :-)
is there a way of cleaning the turning device in the side of the incubator? It has brown wires connecting to the motherboard. My turning device seems to have moisture in it and some old bits of down. I have cleaned the fan and put back in
Hello Kathryn, please can you email us: sales@brinsea.co.uk and send us a photo of the bit you are trying to clean - we can then send you information on what to do. Kind regards, Brinsea.
No problem, please make sure you have fitted the fan back in correctly - you should not be able to see the label when you look under the lid. We look forward to receiving your email. Kind regards, Brinsea.
Hello, I have received a Brinsea Ovascope. There is a black rubber tube in the pack which in the first drawing in the brochures of the product it shows it should not be placed over the LED light, however it is not mentioned where it should be placed or what’s the use of it. Would you be able to clarify what is the use of this tiny black rubber tube? Thanks.
Hello, do you mean the flexible black ring that comes with the OvaView that you use with the OvaScope? The instructions show that when you use the OvaScope with the OvaView you do not use the black ring too. The black ring is for when you are candling eggs without the OvaScope - it gives you a smaller aperture to allow you to see more detail inside the egg. The OvaScope will not fit with this flexible ring in place. The smaller flatter disc that comes supplied with the OvaScope is for when you are candling smaller eggs, as in the top right hand diagram. I'm sorry that there was a delay in replying to you but we are so busy at the moment. The quickest way to contact us is to email us: sales@brinsea.co.uk. Kind regards, Brinsea.
You're welcome. If you have any other questions or need support with any of our products the fastest way to get a response is to email us: sales@brinsea.co.uk as we are extremely busy at the moment and don't get chance to check our UA-cam pages every day. Kind regards, Brinsea.
I would be a bit reluctant to use a large vacume around the motherboard of the incubator as the static electricity can destroy the motherboards components.
Hello Albert. I have just spoken to our technician to clarify this. The only exposed part of the control board is the sensor, in the video we say to be careful cleaning around the sensor and we only use the vacuum remove any loose dirt. We do not advise the customer to remove the board when cleaning. The nozzle and tubing of the vacuum cleaner used in the video are plastic and unlikely to conduct electricity. He has cleaned hundreds of incubators with a vacuum cleaner and never had a problem with static. Kind regards, Brinsea.
BrinseaProductsLtd - Why sadly? This is global economy. Nobody ever apologised for driving an American Tesla or French-Japanese Nissan, why say something horrible like that about China? China is the driving force of the world economy and we should be grateful that one billion Chinese people work hard for the betterment of humanity, including us in the UK.
It was not intended as a horrible comment, we would prefer to source our fans in the UK, where we purchase almost all of our materials for our incubators. We endeavour to support other small businesses in the UK wherever possible. We work with UK suppliers wherever possible which means tighter control over quality and supply as well as supporting local industries and reducing product carbon footprint.

After cleaning do I need to turn it on to dry again or let it run 24 hours without water before cleaning?
Hello Juan, you can clean it first, then run it for 24 hours to let it dry out. Kind regards, Brinsea.
If the sanitizing solution is not available on the United States online market, what can we use to sanitize it?
Hi Kathleen, we suggest you use a water-based disinfectant, do not use an alcohol based disinfectant. If you need more help please email Brinsea in USA, sales@brinsea.com. Kind regards, Brinsea.
What do you use as a disinfectant ?

I can only find a fan for the Mini Brinsea. Are the Maxi and Mini fans the same?

I wouldn’t let my incubators get in that state . That’s horrendous
Some people are fastidious about keeping their incubators clean, others less so. Cleanliness is importance for the success of future hatches.
Fan made in China????????????
Sadly, it is impossible to buy fans made anywhere else of the specification we require.
