I had a lot of trouble with my Nielsen and my Ca reactors from GEO leaking. Contact him at GEOWEB@AOL.COM and see what he says.

Contact George. I have his Skimmer, Ca reactor and Kalk reactor and he has always provided top notch customer service when I contact him for help/ideas.

I dont know why people glue the pipe to the acrylic , Its the weakest joint possible and it will leak eventualy . They should just use uniseal and it will never leak .
