There is a green "diaphragm" which sits at the mouth of the
reservoir but it is not air-tight. Also, there is a float
which sticks out through the top of the "internal" cap which
is then sealed by the external cap. I think the float allows
the "diaphragm" to rise up to a maximum level and then settle
back down.
