Looks like the o-ring between the pipe and the valve has broken. This one had started dripping a bit a month ago and I tightened it a bit. Maybe I just went a tad too far.

God I hope the others don't start. None have dripped at all, but 3 are in carpeted areas.
Anyone think I should get them all checked? Or take the 'if it ain't broke' approach?

Thats pretty sucky

Hope it works out better for you than this guy :p

I'd probably go the if it aint broke path. BUT, if the whole system is about the same age, it might be worth gong through and changing out all the O-rings while you have part of it down anyway. if one replaceable part is failing, the others might not be far behind.

A round of applause to the people who fixed my Ipad.

The joys of Apple. I don't understand why people keep persisting on that junk. I own an Iphone 6 from work and aside from having a better camera, everything else falls short to my much, much older Samsung S3.

I have an iPad for work, only because I have to. I despise most Apple products. I have personal iPods because for music it's decent. Otherwise the rest, imo, is garbage

I gotten a notice from StarTrack to collect my parcel from a Post office which does not open on Saturdays < problem 1
So I took the time off and head to the post office only to find out "We have changed location to ......Shopping center" Ugh....seriously? so why the collection card had no updates if this was happening within a weeks notice.

Yes, I got my parcel but it was a wasted time and trip just to get it.

I don't understand the hate. They work. And work quite well.

Hating Apple must be what all the cool kids do these days.

To each their own but I can't really change my point of view of them and it is really low. I can't help to think that people just buy them because they either don't know any better or want to be pretentious about it so they can show it off to their equally pretentious friends. There is certainly no value for money and the restrictions it imposes on the user (whether they realise it or not) is ridiculous.
