Default Re: Pro/Forums exclusive: Cracked Spir@l 2002

I'm guessing this crack developed within the last day given the amount of water that leaked, as I didn't notice a crack when I checked my system over on Sunday.

It's been said before by the senior members of this forum, and I have nothing else to do but say it again. Don't use metal barbs with a poly top. I'll probably be avoiding poly tops from now on.


I had that happen to me with a reservoir. That is why I decided not to use a poly-top. People may argue the battery affect but some good anodizing and water addictive eliminates that concern.
