Got the reactor up and running tonight. Everything works like it should. There is no water comming out of the rod hole. I do not have much flow going threw it though. Just changed the whole Lithe out and can't run it at a higher flow yet. The only thing I would change is for some reason I did not extend the rod to the bottom of the reactor. The bottom red brackets stop on the 1/2 inch barbed plug and make it a little uneven. It would be solved if the rod was extended to the bottom. The plunger is a little hard to start but flows easily up and down after the first inch. So far I am pleased with how it works.

I shake mine every day or other day. It's actually a great arm and shoulder work out! Shake and bake

Works great still using it. Only problem is when you get the flow up it does leak threw the top where the rod is. The other problem was the rod noyt being extended to the bottom as mentioned in the earlier post. I am pleased with it though.
