Good morning AFN! I gotta question I need some help with. Yesterday I filled my autopot reservoir up, and open the line. I just went in to check everything, and I noticed a drop of water under the 4way connector. I felt the connector, and it was wet.

It appears I have a tiny hole in the middle here. :face:No idea how it could have happened. I don't want to order 1, and pay almost $10 with shipping & tax. Instead I was gonna put a dab of silicone on it. Is this ok, will it be safe to use? I'm sure it will work, but is there a better sealant? Autopot users has this happened to you? It wasn't hit, or smashed I don't know how it could have gotten a pin sized hole on its own. @Mizzo81 I know you have had an autopot for a while any thoughts?

Stay lifted

Autopot grower here likewise and the system works, experience taught me to to exchange all ties and tubes after 1 grow cycle ( after 2 times all reservoir was in the inlay, thanks god electricity was fixed over in in the tent )
a constant drip can wears away the stone:biggrin:

But Autopot definitely made me growers life easier and the harvests speak itself!:thumbsup:

Yeah, looks like even autopots just break lol. Only 2 grow didn't think would start to fail already. Found some tubing that may work at a better price at lowes. Going to take cross connector, and end cap tomorrow to see if the fit.

Good deal was gonna say check Lowe’s or amazon cuz Home Depot i checked online and i only saw the 3 way connection pieces not the 4 way!

Thanks that's good advise! I love this thing all I have to do is train anymore. Kinda feels like cheating lol. Got me spinning how a solid non-moving part could spring a leak from nowhere. This is also why I don't put much in my reservoir. I can add water everyday no biggie. If it doesn't have that much in it, a leak won't be as bad. I only keep like 2-3 gallons in it. I add a gallon as needed.
