Do Not Listen To Me!!!
I am sure there are plenty of people who have never had an issue with this product but here is mine so far.
I connected it using zip ties and those metal bands that you tighten with a screwdriver(not the side in the water) and it leaked.
I taped and retaped and both attachments that screw on the inlet and outlet to reduce for the size of hose you want to use cracked during hand tightening.
I have had to clean up tons of water due to leaks that just start.
Last night I just happened to wake up(thankfully) and found like a gallon of water on my tile floor and man it was a lot. The unit was leaking where it had not for 2 days. It ran fine and then started leaking at the inlet.
I have emailed the company and have heard nothing for about 4 or 5 days already.
I am sick and tied of hooking it up to my water pump only to have to unhook it to fix a leak. I have my pump turned down below the max 200GPD it can handle.
My pump is a quiet one that does like 220 max and it is halfway down. Even at full it should handle it since it has to pump the water back up 1 foot to the tanks rim.
I am about to bounce this thing off the wall. I am 110% happy I didn't try to install this in-line. I mean I couldn't anyway due to the GPD limit but still.
Here is one thing I want to say about the only thing that has seemed to work so far but so have others for 2 days.
You can either go with the large fitting or screw on a reducer for smaller hose.
Well I have a large hose on the outlet and it fits tight and has 2 straps and hasn't leaked. I will explain the way it stack ups from the outlet.
Outlet with larger hose about 6 inches long. I inserted the smaller hose into the larger hose and sealed it with epoxy. This is so the smaller hose can plug into the rig I invented from parts from Lowes. I am attaching a drawing of what it looks like so you can get a better idea.
On the left is the successful connection - the right side just points out where the leak is. At the threads no matter what I put, tape or whatever it leaks. The left side seems to be a fix.
The box on the top shows how the water gets to the UV Sterilizer and back the the tank. There are 2 black plastic connector and the screw together and fit the small hose eliminating the need to bend the hose.
Plus it gives it a nice straight down entry. That is my technical illustration I whipped up real quick. I will take pix later when I fix this piece of crap tonight. I will just be worried 24/7 this will eventually leak.
I would rather have it contained in a box that mounts on back above the tank so any leaks just fall back into the tank.
