Uh....sorry to hear that John........

That HRV is a great unit but it may not be able to keep up should the tank contents pour out onto the floor.

I'm afraid that the warranty is now null and void.

Not good!

Will that be a warranty replacement or just a fix?

If the warranty is past you can always glue a square piece of acrylic to that corner and it should be good....won't be as pretty but it should hold.

Sure would make me nervous about the rest of the tank though.

Yes it does I dont know what Im going to do if he wont replace it. Might be a good time to think about getting out. I could buy a old hotrod or a really big inground pool for what it costs me to run this tank.

I wouldn't go the inground pool route they're just as expensive and you only use them 3 months out of the year.
