dialing Co2, ill be down in a few ill check mine

WTF!!!!!!!!!!! i just took this picture...i let the water pool up to show you.

wtf yo, i cannot have this shit. Its always fucking something yo. i guess growing cant be too easy or everybody would be growing.

shit is fucking up my carpet and somebody is looking out for me, cuz that wetspot is right beside a surge protector....after crop is done imma move get another surge protector with a longer cord or something.... thas the only reason its on that shelf cuz of the short cord


now from the looks of it, it is coming from the white ring around the top....


EDIT: upon further investigation...... Something is leaking from down bottom under the chiller too

 

[SOG]

a dumb question, did you uncork the plug to make sure everything is flush
and no dirt or salt buildup exist on the rubber grommet and the cylinder it fits in?

 

[LoudBlunts]

i've disconnected and reconnected, however i didnt see enough dirt/buildup to make me clean the grommet


im about to disconnect the chiller and dissect in a minute

its enough if the grommet inst flush to cause a leak
its in a cone shape, so it should fairly seat straight
make sure the plastic elbow doesn't go over the end of the cone
and remains flush to the end of the elbow

 

[LoudBlunts]

what would be leaking from UNDER the chiller?

 

[LoudBlunts]

moreover, would me taking apart the chiller even make a difference?

if you cant see the leak id say go ahead and take the cover off
download the manual first, so you'd know what your looking at when you open it

apparently the leak from below/under the chiller is being caused from the outlet leak as well.

i can see where it dripped from the top down to the bottom (nute salt residue evidence)

should be a replaceable part!
call their support in the morning, they are local
ask for Steve or Mani

okay man i cleaned, scrubbed and reseated the grommets


its leaking from the white piece and only from the output side

the white piece comes after the grommet
i think its just reinforcement so you can spin it around
id say grab a replacement grommets see what up with that

if you want to be sure its the grommet
swap the inlet and outlets grommets
to eliminate by trial

 

[LoudBlunts]

already did that.... still only leaks from the output side even when i switched grommets

its fixed now temporarily..... i stopped bullshit and put that heavy duty teflon tape to use.... it laughed at and ate the regular teflon tape....

imma call them and see if i cant get all replacement pieces, grommets, white pieces and 1/2 elbows

hey great grow!!!!! how much$$ do u have in on this whole op?

 

[morphus657]

no offense to Stinkbud.... he's a good grower and all.....


however, i dont use stinkbud layout (too many moving parts and too tedious workings for my liking...not to mention he came out with his DIY way after i got into it) i build my own systems with the exception of the only prebuilt system i have which is the aquamist.


with that said..... they (nutes) arent system specific...they shall work with any system without discrimination.

moreover, im no fan of force air injection as it wildly fluctuates pH and EC by introducing spores and such into the nute soup.

for my aeration of my res' i just use mechanical force (waterfall, constant moving water) as well keeping my nute tanks at 65-68 for max DO (dissolved oxygen)

you may wonder why i brought up the air pump scenario....it is cause House & Garden discourages use of air pump with their nutes.

Do u have any pix of what your system looks like?

 

[LoudBlunts]

i run a few different systems at once.

some custom ebb and flows, some custom drip systems....

however, if you are specifically referring to which aero system.... you can google it...its a prebuilt system called an aquamist

as i dont wanna clog up SoG thread
