High Antimony found on Triton ICP

[SMSREEF]

A fast response from the CS rep:

"Thank you for your input – this is very valuable. We don’t want to compromise anyone’s aquarium, even for a small pin.

I am going to recommend the switch to a higher chromium stainless on this pin asap. The cost difference should only be pennies.

Please advise if I can send you a new pump. Sorry for your difficulty and thank you for your help.

be well!"

Hopefully the higher ups make the change!

How did you get ahold of them? I emailed [email protected] on Tuesday but they have not yet responded to my email.

ok got my ati results back. Antimony zero. both in tank and rodi. I did a 20% wc and also do 1 gal/ day Awc. also I changed out Rox carbon twice. never ran polyfilter this time. definately green machine was the cause

hey by any chance have any of you used triton detox to remove antimony? Being that it removes other metals?

Did you ever hear back?

Some chinese plastics have antimony/lead. I wonder has anyone busted one of these open to see how degraded the plastic was inside near bulb. I find it hard to believe just the impeller could cause those levels. Maybe that's part of why they tell you 6 month lifespan?

My thought exactly.
Degraded plastic from UV exposure.

I know where my GKM is going once i dig it out of my spare parts box :)

I know not from taking this gkm apart but another made in china. That it was severely degraded. Never did any icp test. I only ran it for a few days and junked it because of that.

***sorry for the necro***
I wish that I had found this thread before it went in to my tank as it has only been in there for 3 days to clear up a bacterial bloom.
Need to have a sticky posted so people can avoid this machine at all costs
