Grow Mediums Water leaks

[Gone Camping]

My latest Autopot setup is leaking again, first was a 4 way connector with pinhole.. now a ball valve won't stop dripping.

Where are you guys buying replacement parts? Rather not deal with autopot replacements. Good hydro shop online that won't charge $20 to get one in my hands?

I've only had one of the original valves start dripping and all I did was twist it a few times then push in and pull out on the stem portion...it stopped for that grow. Started again this grow and just pushed/pulled the stem and it quit.

Yep, used the valve 2/3 times so far. Last night i swapped the valve at reservoir with the one at end of line.. it's leaking too.

This is the Aquavalve5 setup with 3/8" lines, the 1/4" setup is running leak free.

Guess we just add it to the list of things you'll eventually have trouble from, tires, t*ts, aquavalves.

I had one of the 3/8" in line on/off valves leak by. I replaced it with a new one and haven't had any mlre issues. Been using these for 3 years now.

I ordered from Autopot USA.....
