The water tube is the tray filler (for brewing). This is the output from the water fill valve which is usually set at a timed interval just enough to fill the tray with water to make a desired brew. There are other units that will automatically sense the proper water amount and fill as needed.
* All of these are on demand systems and should not be filling excess water when not in use. Call your vendor for service.
* Excess water is usually caused by a leaking water fill valve which will need to be replaced. Tip: click the brew switch on and turn off the brewer to stop. Do this several times. You should hear a 'click' then a whine as water fills the brewing tray. Place an empty pot or metal decanter to catch the hot water from empty funnel (no coffee needed) The brew will be higher and will overfill the decanter so keep an eye on it and dump water as needed. What you are doing is possibly dislodging a bit of sand that may have got stuck in the valve thus causing a small leak. Snapping the valve several times may clear it. If not then call for service.
* Some time the timer can get scrambled as the newer units are all digital and get out of calibration or blown out. Especially after a blackout or Electrical storm. Call your vendor for service.
* Auto level probes can get dirty and will need service to clean as it's usually located inside the machine and tank.. Call a tech to be safe.
* Sometimes constant running of Hot water is a sign of a bad heater and/or thermostat. Thermostat may be shorted and boil all water off. Heater could have ruptured and short to ground which boils off water. Both cases will cause the brewer to boil vigorously (Gallop!) then run completely dry. Over heat and trip out breakers and or thermal fuses. Hopefully it shuts down before catching fire. (There are safe guards in place as Bunn equipment are well designed.)
* Finally: Leaks in any form, especially from the body of the brewer will cause an electrical hazard. Call your vendor for service and replacement.

SOURCE: water drippin from the hot water outlet on a Bunn coffee maker
Hello. If this is the hot water faucet, on the front of the unit, there is a rubber seat that keeps it sealed. Usually it gets a piece of debris, or scale in it with use, or the rubber seat gets worn out and needs replacement. To check, turn off your water, unplug the unit, and drain all the water out of the faucet until it stops, then tilt the unit forward slightly just to get a little more. Now you should be able to unscrew/disassemble the faucet, and pull it out to look at the seat cup, and the faucet interior. If there is scale or debris on the cup, and the faucet interior, it will need to be cleaned, and it may actually require chemicals for scale, if bad enough. If the rubber seat cup is torn, it will need a new one. You can get a new seat at a parts supplier for commercial units in your local area, look in the phone book under "restaurant equipment repair" or go online, plenty of them have a web site. If it is NOT your faucet dripping, we can go from there.
Hope that helps, and thank you.

Hello. I would like to suggest that you pour in water, with a container under the funnel, until water does come out, it sounds like the water has just evaporated too far, and it requires more than a pot to bring it to the top. In the future, if you do not use it for a day or more, you need to unplug it, or just pour a pot of water in to keep it at level, as this unit heats all the time it is plugged in, and can actually evaporate all the water away, blow the element, damage the thermostat, or worse permanently damage the unit.

Your spray head has 5 to 6 little holes depending on the model and year, and it looks like you have scale, calcium or lime blocking them.
Since your model is a VPR pour model, you will have less trouble cleaning it with white vinegar than the permanent water connection type. I use a gallon of vinegar and filters for this.
Parts needed:
2 Clean, Rinsed Empty coffee cans
1 Gallon of White vinegar
5 coffee filters
1 Toothbrush, preferrably angled head
Start with your Bunn turned off and place an empty full size coffee can under the pour spout. Now place a filter in the brew basket to catch any fine particles you don't want poured back in the resevoir and heater. You will need to change this filter a few times as the trash starts coming out of your spout.
With the coffee can, brew basket, and a fresh empty filter in place you want to start pouring the vinegar in the tank while catching the water with the coffee can. As it fills with water you will need to dump the can down the drain until the full gallon of vinegar has been poured in the Bunn. Allow the excess water to finish flowing out into the coffee can making sure to leave half the water in the can to pour back into the coffee maker.
By now your tank should be filled with mostly white vinegar, and your coffee can should be at least half full of vinegar as well.
Now you can turn on the lower pot warmer to keep the solution hot and plug your Bunn into the outlet.
Allow 8 to 10 minutes for the heater to heat up and pour the half full coffee can of vinegar into the fill area. Allow the cycle to complete and replace the filter as needed, or if flow begins to slow down.
If your heads are clogged, use the toothbrush to clear the holes as the vinegar is flowing until you see all holes flowing vinegar.
Chunks of trash will dislodge in your heater tank and flow to your spray head, so keep that toothbrush ready.
Do this at least 5 times, then allow the Coffee maker to sit 30 minutes with the heater on to finish dissolving the lime and calcium deposits in the tank.
After 30 minutes start flushing the system with clean water to rinse out all of the vinegar, or until you can no longer smell vinegar in the coffee can.
Good Luck!
