When spring came I was about to soak, but when I plugged in I noticed that the rubber at every bend on the underside had dissolved. Ruined my weekend, ordered another one, installed it correctly, first came with a new yoke inner gasket, second didn't. Now, less than 90 days later, the rubber is tearing and the only…
