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
 
Dumb question. Think I'd be able to just pack a net cup full of coco and use that in my hydro rig? Can't find my rocks

I’d be little worried about the coco washing out through the net. Coco is pretty fine and those net cups are pretty open right? That would be my only issue :shrug:

Yeah that should work just have to make sure it’s completely dry while glueing. Do you have a Lowe’s or Home Depot near by or any hardware store may have some 1/4” fittings. I know the Lowe’s by me had 4 ways they were white plastic not black but you could cover that up

Maybe it’s 3/8” the ones I was talking about were in the plumbing section not the garden stuff
 
Didn't think to look there. Worst come to worst I will order 1 when I need more autopot stuff. I still need to grab another aquavalve5, and more line when I expand.
Make sure to order new seals for the valve always good have those on hand if a valve starts acting up
