In recent months I had been working on the final design of my reservoirs, which I had hoped to move to the production stage by the end of the year. I'm happy to say that they are coming out a little bit early, and have finally finished testing.
With that, I would like to announce that everyone who previously has purchased a prior version of any of my reservoirs, is entitled to a 60% discount off any new reservoir purchased direct through me.
Tonight I got the chance to finally get some pictures taken, and sit down and post some updates. There is a huge list of changes made to the product so here it goes.
- Mounting clip clamping pressure has been reduced 50%. This fixes the issue of stress fractures in the center wall of the cylinder.
- Much better quality polycarbonate tube. I selected this brand out of 4 manufacturers samples I had been given.
- Each reservoir comes with a Feser G1/4" Chrome Fill Plug
- Each reservoir comes with a Logisys UV CCFL bulb, which has much better compatibility with a variety of inverters. The previous bulbs had many inverter compatibility issues.
- Full threaded Delrin end caps seal to the tube with high grade BN50 o-rings
- Light tube is threaded at both ends for increased safety and aesthetic value, no glue or solvents involved
- Every reservoir is leak tested to 50psi twice before shipment.
- Helix insert is modular, and can be taken off if need be. The insert secures to the bottom Delrin block by snapping on to two brass pins embedded in the base of the Delrin block.
- IceCaps are still available in 10 different colors, the new IceCaps are made from 1/16" wall aluminum alloy, and slide perfectly over the Delrin caps, eliminating the need for set screws or thumb screws to hold them in place.
- Eventually, the fluorescent red helix's are going to be available only a separate insert, I am replacing them with the blood red acrylic.
- Helix core has an oval disc on the top that helps to snap the helix into alignment when the top cap is screwed on, this helps to keep the helix straight and in place at all times.
