Gater,

Welcome to our discussions!

It sounds like you have a leak, for sure. Check everything out well and let us know what you find out, 'kay? Be sure to test the fittings with a spray bottle and soap solution.

One tip: don't use any soap with ammonia in it ... it will turn the copper green.

Les, can you recommend a brand of soap? The stuff I used when I was working was a commercial soap mixture that the company I worked for purchased. I never bothered to remember the brand. Heck, I didn't have to buy it. What I use now is "Dawn" and water mixed. Carl
