Title: Water Tank Inspection Windows
Post by: dave6330 on September 23, 2009, 06:08:58 PM
Is there a tool to open (screw out?) the plastic inspection window on the water tanks?  Mine are in there pretty tight and I'm afraid if I try to force them, they'll simply break.

Good luck on that Dave, mine were so bad that I replaced them with larger, eaiser access inspection ports.  Only about $25 ea.

PS....my tanks look like the surface of the moon with all the blisters.  I didn't want the huge job of fixing them, so I just filter the water and ignore them.  Drew tore them out and replaced with the flexable plastic tanks........
