Great product - I'm glad I bought it

First of all I have to say this is an incredibly nice piece of equipment (I bought 5.8 gallons) and I'm glad I did i bought it. I wanted to leave a fairly detailed review because it's a huge price and I was skeptical as there weren't any reviews to refer to. Just for background, you can probably call me a beginner, but I have a head on my shoulders and a good flair for improvisation. This product came exactly as pictured; it included all those little extra gifts he's talking about. It was really amazing how everything fit into the size of the package they made. educational and mostly in Chinese; However, I appreciated the diagram they included that demonstrated two different ways to set up your pumping system. Моя единственная реальная критика, которую я не могу винить в ошибке пользователя, заключается в том, что носик для капель находится прямо над верхней частью крышки - не большая проблема , на фотографии вы должны увидеть, как я только что установил маленькую медную трубку, чтобы исправить That. So a quick fix with a trip to Lowe's or Home Depot for pipes and/or hoses. A slight irritation only worth noting because the price paid is for hoses. Didn't really like how you have to squeeze the included hoses into such a small space (a slight annoyance, as I said; can also be fixed by a visit to Lowe). I also noticed a leak (which I mentioned in the manual/brochure can occur at or above 80C) - it was actually more of a small drip and only occurred at the inlet to the reversing column, which is an easy and quick fix wrap. rag around. Unfortunately I can't speak to the pump I received because I used another one I already had that was more powerful; Mine worked fine but maybe more than needed and I'll probably switch to the one they sent me. I'm ashamed to admit it, but due to user error, I managed to break the needle valve - just one of those guys who love twisting things to the point of breaking them, so that's probably more my fault as suffering from a critical manufacturing defect. Also, I found out I could get a pack of 5 identical needle valves for about $13. I'd also like to add (for those who might be new to this like me), just make sure you clean the gear thoroughly before use: ideally you should probably do a vinegar run. I forgot to make the vinegar out of eagerness and just did a deep cleaning by hand, thinking it would do. I don't want to talk about terrible results. In summary, I can say that this is an excellent and beautiful device. No major complaints. Any problem I have can be solved quickly and inexpensively by visiting Lowe. I'm very happy with my purchase and happy to be the first to write a review.
