Uniseals
Are these things reliable? I was thinking of using them on my ATS but if they are going to leak then I don't want to.

A lot of people use them with no problems, if sized to pipe properly. Me, I like bulkheads and PVC glue. But that's just me.

I use them on my rodi & mixing station containers. I have 6 in use & I have never had one leak in the 3 or 4 years I've been using them. I use them on anything that isn't flat. I use bulkheads if they are going on a flat surface.

They are the best on curved surfaces

+1 @Lsufan. Have used them for three years on RODI station containers. No leaks!

The ATS is going to be a flat box. Guess I'll go with bulk heads. I did see a guy using them in a video so I figured I'd ask. Better safe then sorry.
Thanks Again Last edited by SFish; 09/20/2016 at 04:12 PM. |

They work just fine on flat surfaces..
They are just really good for moderately curved surfaces too.. I'm using them as bulkheads on my new macro/fuge tank..

I want the ATS to hold a small amount of water but it could get plugged and fill up to the emergency drain. I'm going to set it on top of my sump.
