I have had a couple of low level mishaps involving pipes that I have (purposely) disconnected whilst forgetting about the siphon effect of 300l of water above the pipework and filter. One was me forgetting and the other was this weekend when trying to get the air pocket out of a new CO2 reactor set-up. That has a tiny leak, which I am hoping to sort this evening - but last night I woke at 3am panicking that a pipe will have disconnected and the living room would be flooded, so I had to go and check it and then barely slept afterwards. I now have this feeling of anxiety that a pipe will pop off somewhere and ruin our house at some point in the future. I can't deal with that stress, if it happens!
Does anyone else have this issue? I have secured all connections with either the Oase screw clamps or jubilee clips, but I am considering going back to just the inline diffuser which felt safer (fewer pipes and joins). The water is fired through at a reasonable pressure - is it possible that this could disconnect a pipe? Want to enjoy what I've got rand not have to worry about it.
