I put it on my server, it will work on most anything now. I forgot to add a player to it. It’s a higher quality mp4. If I have to, I’ll convert it to work on older opera browsers if someone can’t see it.

Yes, I know how YouTube and the forum works. Fact is, you can use Dailymotion, Facebook, Liveleak, Metacafe and Vimeo also. I just choose not to do so. I quit using them for personal reasons quite some time ago. I’m not sure if the new update to the forum will allow any embedded video or not. If not, I know and understand why. I’ve ran/coded boards and forums in the past. They can be a pain to police sometimes. Anyhow, thanks for trying to help.
hi ppl just had to jion as i have 4 of these filters and every time i touch them most of the taps leak,
have had them apart and cleaned and tried silicone grease all to no avail,
have found that if there is up or down pressure on the tap the outer housing flexis thus the leak,
most will take up and stop leaking after a day or two,{painfull}
failing that buy a new tap {again}
if someone has a fix would be much appreciated.

You can try to place the leaking valve on the input side
there is less presser there and it may stop leaking , try
moving it back and forth and do not run wide open .
I'd buy another valve and replace it , them try to fix it .

just a update. cleaned all 4 filters this week and have a spare tap, 7 out of 9 taps leak after cleaning, all were smeared with silicone grease, 5 days later 2 are still leaking, also carnt buy new taps anyware . great filters but **** taps and backup. also have removed hard tubing from taps to lessen the flex.
I couldnt get the aquastop valves so i wanted to share this
just what i was going to do as the little bit of water spillage you will get is less than messing with the taps for days,
well done
Your DIY solution is outstanding... and now having gone through my *second* round of Fluval aquastop valves for my FX6, I'm ready to follow in your footsteps. Can you describe the particular couplings/pieces... especially where you connect with the pipe claps from the OEM flex-hoses to your PVC... and then again what exactly you're using to connect to the terminals on the top of the filter itself? I walked the aisle for an hour at home depot today and couldn't easily find something to make the "transition"... but clearly you have! Thanks!
