The towels on the plumbing are the reason for the redo. The blue one on the new is the expected "1 drip every 100 seconds leak" . Just a precaution.
The IO bucket is a kalk drip.

Yeah right, maybe if I could reach underneath. Bad planning, but not much I can do about it now. I have plans, but I don't know how it is gonna affect what I have.

Quick question Charlie,
By any chance did you gain any noticable flow by redoing the plumbing? I guess you couldn't wait for me to show up huh? nice to see you got it done though.
Congrats!!! It looks better

Charlie,
How did you get all that crusty salt of the pump without getting it to wet?

Haven't tackled that one yet Don.
Between Duane and I, I think we have an extra pump with new seals that we can slip in for a replacement. It does look rather embarrassing tho doesn't it.

It doesn't really look like it inside the tank, but it is really hard to tell. I didn't redo the tank inside either.
You can see most of it there. I am gonna be redoing the rest of it anyways. Maybe I'll post some pics after I get done.Jiddy said:
