Solved Avast leak issues

    I wanted to share this with the group about my experience with the Avast Zeovit reactor, I have owned mine since April of 2016 and it works well but developed a crack in the main tube upon my first media change.


    It is controlled to cycle 3x daily at a 60 sec cycle, which is the recommendations from the manufacturer


    Avast being the great company they are stood behind the product and sent a new one and the problem was solved, they had never seen the issue and attributed it to flawed acrylic.


    They have excellent customer service, even sent a survey after the warranty claim, I was very impressed with this service.


    Another issue that I have always fought was the inlet and outlet would leak at where it was threaded into the acrylic lid, which was sealed with Teflon. This would occur after every vibration cycle. It has progressed to the point of a steady drip.


    Enclosed are a few pics of the new lid I made which incorporated ½ in bulkheads, which I hope will fix the issue.

    Heh looks like Avast to me.

    I had no idea they made a self cleaning zeovit reactor.. that's super cool if it works well. Has it worked just as well as a manual zeovit reactor?
