Please Give Me Repair Advise Monster Xl
Hello,
My Monster XL blew up after a few uses. I still have the plastic tripod protectors. One of the pressure chambers blew to pieces sending purple plastic all over the place. This happened while using the Quick Fill Device. The water did not fill the resivor instead it blew up the PC.
Thanks,
Waterboy

That's awesome!
could you put a shperical PC in for the other one? Oh, no, you couldn't duferent workings. How would you do a clyndrical replacment? Doesn't sounds possible really. Did anything happen to the actual PC. you might have a busted release valve that is not letting the overpressure PC back into the reservoir. You could probably get a sheet of plexiglass, and glue it to replace the purple plastic.

The rubber bladder is fine only the purple plastic blew to pieces. The expossion was pretty bad lucky no one got hit in the eye.
Is that release valve the same check valve you recommend freezing for "K" modding? If so that will save me some work since I might as well mod it while its apart. Since the bladder holds the water what do you think about me using a slightly larger cylinder for volume and modding for pressure?

If the check valve (release valve) isn't working then you wouldn't need to freeze it because it already is frozen.
If it's the plastic is broken, remove the plastic and replace it with PVC or something similar. The chamber might get damaged in something like that. I think 3" PVC you might be able to get in, I'm not sure though.

At this day and age, I doubt he got it from a retail store. Either ebay, or he hasn't used it for a long time. If you did buy it relail, where?

Or you could make it single PC reliant.
