Aero Cloner lid is leaking...

[jonnynu]

Arrrrrrgg...it's not super bad but I can't have this...got any ideas anyone??

 

[Str8Dank]

where is it leaking from where it connects to the tote or from some of the holes you put in it? is this a diy tote and if so are the sides bulging out from the amount of water you put in it?

A picture/link of the tote would certainly help us help you.

is it a purchased or DIY cloner?

 

[jonnynu]

Got it handled....it's a diy system...I used weather striping I bought from Home Depot...simply wrapped it around the perimeter of the box and then pressed on the lid...does make me wonder how the maufactured ones don't have this problem..I know someone who has an ezcloner...I'm going to take a close look at it...thanks for trying to help out...that's for sure...

I've never seen the premade cloners, but I think they're made so that there's a lip that redirects the spray back into the cloner. I'm glad you hit on a solution, sorry for the screwy PM.

The lid is recessed with a lip so that solution can't get out.

That weatherstripping can cultivate things you do not want. Put some c clamps on your lid till you get tired of the design. JK

What JK is saying is that bacteria and nasties can easily hide in the weatherstripping - probably be a good idea to replace each run as opposed to chancing it.
