awhile back...

is that better??



I threw mine away. Actually threw two of them out. Both started to leak
(when off)... However there are people that think they are awesome! This
was
about 1 year ago.



I have had mine running for over 2 years now. Initially after 6 months mine
also leaked when turned off. This could easily have turned into a disaster
if the power went out and we were not at home. I returned the unit to my
dealer and they replaced the entire head unit and since then absolutely no
leaking problems at all. They obviously had a problem but the newer models
have had some changes made to the way they close. The Aqua Stop assembly has
two levers, one grey which opens or closes off the water supply and a blue
locking lever which I find very difficult to close. I'm amazed that it has
not broken. For the difference in money I would buy a Filstar or Ehiem.
