Dosing Tube Holder leaking?

[Paul]

Hi,

I have the doser since release and its working great. But i notice that after a while the Dosing Tube Holder seems to start leaking.
Result is that it will also drip down the outside of the tank.

I looks like it starts at the connection between the top part and where the tubes get connected. The fluid from dosing (plant ferts, easy-life Potasium, easy-life Carbo) finds a way between the seem.
Once it happend at the first one i tried the second one that came with the package. Just to check if the first one could maybe be broken.
But after a while also the second one started leaking.

So its not the tubes itself that seems to be leaking.
Any experience with this or option i could do?

Hello,
I have got the same problem with the holder - it is leaky. I bought mine on 12th September 2023 through riverwoodaquatics.co.uk
How can I get improved holders?

Cannot see any leak, seems it's new never been used.

I’ve swapped with the second one from the kit and washed under tap as it was sticky since leaking fertiliser crystalised on on it. If you don’t trust me I can use it for couple weeks and then you’ll see clear evidence of leaks.

Generally the fertilizer will flow to the sides but not leak like the above customer's holder, which is the back side leak. If yours is the same with above you can contact the seller to replace.

How to recognise improved one? Does it have different part number?

 

[Administrator]

No difference from the appearance. No number.

Seems something is not right with the current design of this tube holder.
I am now currently using my 4th one and it started leaking again on the sides
With the last 2 ones i wasnt using Easy Life EasyCarbo (maybe that was the case before with more agrassive liquid. But with the 3rd and 4th i only use EI dosing (micro, macro, iron) sollution.
