[TPIN] Add Water Key?

[Byron Jones]

Have you tried to pull out the little slide at the very end of the third valve slide? It may be stuck. Sometimes, folks don't know it's there. You may need to use a puller, or better yet, some penetrating oil to loosen it up. But it is there! I used Benges for years, and all of them had the double third valve slide for removal of water. So you really shouldn't need a water key. Better without one, some would say. Less turbulence, etc.
