1800 gallon build and my new 180

[Maximizer]

Pin hole leaks all over the front. Just went to Lowe’s and got fiberglass. Thank god I did this 6 yrs ago and know what the hell im doing. Otherwise I’d be lost

That's not good. Hopefully they make it right .that's the first I've heard of one of those tanks leaking. I think they have a 1 year warranty on those tanks .

That's not too bad at all. I've been looking at getting one.

You may not want to buy one. I’ll let you know how they handle this.

I will. This is the first I've heard of one leaking. Hopefully it all works out for you though

I just got through applying pond armor. I think it’ll definitely be good now. Pentaire is supposed to be giving me a partial refund

Good to hear!

How's the tank holding up?

I applied one coat of pond armor and resiliconed around the glass. No more leaks. I’m going to apply one more coat of pond armor this weekend, Finish the plumbing and should be good to go.

Oh, one more thing. Pentaire offered me a 50 dollar partial refund. I went back and forth with them, sent several pics and i am very disappointed. For a thousand dollar tank, I should not have to re epoxy and silicone it after filling it up with water for the 1st time and having it delivered less than a month ago.

I would personally never buy a pentair tank based on some recent situations I’ve read where they offer insultingly low refunds for obvious defects in their new products. Can’t do business with a company that doesn’t stand by their product or value profit over customer satisfaction
