Thank you. Your 300 is a really nice setup! No pups, different thread.
Haha aint that the truth. I would have been still filling around 1AM had I continued.
Unfortuntely I had to stop due to two pinhole leaks. This is as far as I got to enjoy it wet.
One at the inlet to one of the pumps (easy fix) and the other at the union/inlet to the ultima. I will need to pull the ulitma and re-thread it with more plumbers tape.
That happened to me, too, when I installed our Ultima 1000. I just didn't have enough plumber's tape on the connection. Re-taped it, going a little thicker and it didn't leak after that.
I thought the same thing but Aqua Ultraviolet states that they already pre-taped the fittings and that more tape can be added if needed but do not use sealing compound because it will damage the valve. ?????
Thank you
I have never heard of that stuff. That a specialty order type thing or home depot? I'm pretty irritated with this to be honest. I always seem to have issues with tape and pinhole leaks. Thanks for the suggestion. Tank is draining now and I'll pull it apart next.
