    Hi All,

    Was wondering I see many of you do not have glass covers over your systems. Does that lead to corrosion at the wire connection points for the AI Sol? Or maybe I just need to wipe it down once a week?

    Thanks in advance!

    How high are they mounted? My units are high enough that I only wipe them down every couple of months and don't really seem to need to then.

    You must have excessive surface agitation or microbubbles. My fixtures are in a totally enclosed canopy, no glass lids, 12" above the waterline with a 4" computer fan running low speed at 6.5 volts DC in one end of the canopy and and its perfectly dry.
