osmolator

[jc]

My osmolator stopped working, but I figured out what was wrong. The plastic box that connects the four wires together got wet and corroded. I want to replace it with something else. Will regular crimp on quick-connects work? The type that people use for speakers. That way I can wrap them in electrical tape and plastic.

When you do, cut and strip the wire back 1/2" so you can get un-corroded wire strands. You will get better conductivity that way.

Same thiing happened to me. You can use regular wire nuts, crimp-on, etc. As long as there's a connection, your good to go.

Use a quality shrink wrap instead of black electricians tape.

Are you talking about that heat shrink stuff? Yes, that will look a whole lot better than tape, and it's a better barrier against moisture. Good idea!

Can I get that at radio shack?

Probably. Also available at Lowe's and Home Depot in the electrical section.

Altex is the best place for heat shrink. There is one off 281 and another off 35N

[LoneStar]

Yes Altex is a great place for heat shrink. For the same price that Radio Shack sells their heat shrink you get a few feet of it Altex vs a small baggie with a few random sizes.
