Well **** I already tried to tighten it with pipe wrench since it seems someone misplaced my other wrench. I did manage to put a couple little marks on it, but still bubbling. Even though it has a 5 year warranty, this thing is almost 600 pounds. I really don't want to have to return...

Just got this little gem for being a good boy in 2020. Finally got it setup and noticed that it wasn't holding pressure. After some soapy water all over this is what I found. Its not a huge deal, but is there something I can do to get the leak to stop here? I wasn't exactly sure if that is a...

Went a different route... eBay laser and a remote operate switch. Here's what I got.

Well if I could do that then I will just get "the clapper" and plug that into the ceiling outlet with this plugged into that. I will do some research on the converter, last thing I need is this to start a fire.
