There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First off, 3/8" threads are really a pain... Hardware stores in my area do not sell many 3/8" pipe threaded pieces and the amount of water flowing through cannot be increased. If thread size was 1/2" or even 3/4", the holes can be restricted to 3/8" if necessary. 3/8" threads have limited options - I ended up using galvanized steel fittings instead of brass for cost. Plastic, pvc or abs fittings would work but inventory is limited.
Second, the tank comes with holes places in a limiting configuration. As shown in the product picture, there are three holes on the side. There is an identical configuration on the opposite side. This the input and output configuration that the tanks can be placed in based on the application. 5 out of the 6 holes are NOT drilled through - which was very good to allow for customization. There should be places for 8 threads/holes on each side, not just 3. This would allow FULL customization.
MANUFACTURER: If you read reviews, either create a new product with larger threads and more options for holes or adjust this product. I plan on purchasing more of these tanks. These changes would make this an 5 star product. This is still a solid product even with the issues.
