On Sunday night I installed all the mounting hardware for the aquajoe but didn't plumb the block into the loop. Last night I did so and the block was leaking around the barbs. Everything's so tight in that area with 1/2" thickwall hose that I am not completely sure if it's a leak between hose and barb or a leak from barb to block. The barbs weren't even completely fingertight (but they were taped up) so I dunno.

At any rate the leak occurred before I had even mounted the block onto my system and so no harm. I'll definitely get the problem solved and then test the aquajoe out. It isn't a big deal and could very well have been that my hose was a little expanded from going on and off 4-5 other blocks.
