Cap(don't make fun of me) Controller bucket leaking

I replaced the grommets (sp?) and everything else.. its probably just old and leaking. Is it worth trying to build another or should I just ebay one for $225?

where is it leaking from .......is it just one
how long have u had it .......could be under warrenty
who did u get it from ..........some places just want a good rep so they replace very quickly

why would ppl make fun of u look at the way i write .........all good


and before u buy a new one and after u try replacing (if they do not replace or u got from buddy replace)

look at this ...........this stuff comes in other forms i have used for years and trust it
and maybe this one
both of them are food safe so this should apply to plant safe

Its leaking from the holes that the supply lines enter. Its an older system I got from a friend... I'm going to try the JB weld Thanks justugh

np man just know JB is going to harden into a rock .......it being plastic scar it up little so the bond is good and tight

so before u do it make sure the line is going to last u untill u dump the unit and get a bigger/newer set up

Go get the aquarium grade sealant. Pretty much silicone caulk with less harmful chemicals. Don't use Quicksteel, i use that around the garage for cheap/quick temporary repairs and that stuff is pretty bad, still smells and has a residue on it. I didn't know they made a food safe product..HMM, that might work, but I'd stick with the aquarium sealer. It wont take much, pull everything apart, clean it well, preferably with alcohol, put a thin bead anywhere the seal meets the bucket , put it all together and clean up any excess, let it sit overnight and you should be good.

Also petroleum jelly. helps seal the leaks and makes dis assembly easier.

good thing i have old Smiley........my troll bashing club since i was a little kid running around in the woods looking for them under the bridges
he also works great on assholes/jackasses/ numb nutz/putz / shit for brains/ and finally and the most important anyone that wants to look in the tents with out my ok .......smiley gets heavy ......i have my boom boom stick (12 guage tactical shot gun with armor pericing rounds with explosive charge in the center shit will punch tho 1/4 thick steel ) boom then u go boom hahaha

Thank you all for the input!! I used the aquarium silicone and it seems to have done the trick. I was hesitant to use it at first because I thought it might break the seal while putting the barbs in.. seems fine.

sweet may u get several grows before u need to replace man
