    i bought a supposedly new pf900 fluidized sand bed reactor this afternoon,i hooked it up and i noticed a pin hole leak in the bottom where the clear plastic meets the blue plastic the glue jobs seem kind of sloppy for a factory glueing. i also noticed theres a leak where the down tube meets the blue plastic inside the reactor.is this common and if you have one how are your glue joints?

    im suspecting he tried to reglue it and it leaked :(...did i get ripped off

    Well I spoke with the former owner.he said he never had water in it so he didn't know it was leaking.he said its well over a year since he bought it so there's no warranty left,but he was being as nice as he could be, I suppose,with out offering any resolution.I went ahead and tried to reglue the leaky seams ill fill it again tmo
