I sent this to the ER tech but haven't heard anything, I'm just curious if anyone knows the answer.

In the process of setting up my RS80 I ran a toothpick through the air intake nipple just to make sure there was no plastic leftover from the molding process. Anyway, the toothpick goes in and then hits a lip on the bottom of air intake before it can make it into the water intake area. I shined a light through there and I can see that little lip blocks about half the air intake. It's not part of the mold, it's just part of the venturi I guess. Is that normal and does it serve any purpose? If not, is it OK to drill that part out so there is a straight path through the little air intake? It seems to me it would be an easy place for calcium or gunk to build up.
