Does anyone here have an Aqua Ultraviolet sterilizer, with a wiper? I have a 25W with the wiper and this is the second time it is leaking in the last 12 months. It is dripping where the wiper rod comes out of the wiper nut housing itself. I replaced the wiper nut about 7 months ago or so due to an old cracked rubber O ring in the wiper nut. It's a $22 part just for a new O ring.

If there's anyone on here that has a similar UV, I am wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. Also I am questioning whether or not it makes a difference which way the flow goes through the unit itself. I have the flow going toward the wiper and wonder if it would make a difference if it was going the other direction.
 
Aqua uv are horrible. Every single one I have ever used or seen, for that matter, has gone bad. You're better off getting an emperor unit and moving on. Don't get one with a wiper for saltwater tanks.

Direction of flow doesn't matter.
 
Seems like the wiper is just an invitation for disaster it seems. I will just not bother running a UV or will look into something else.
