Bubbles in sump acrylic

Strict liability is commonly applied in product liability cases. A person or business that manufactures or sells a product makes an implied warranty that the product is safe. The business is then liable for
defective products, regardless of fault or negligence. If the product causes injury and the claimant can prove the defect, the defendant will be held strictly liable for the damage.

The vicarious liability doctrine comes from the old English law "respondeat superior," in which the master was liable for the acts of their servants. The purpose of this doctrine is to transfer the liability from one person to another person who would probably have a greater ability to pay. In some jurisdictions, parents may be held vicariously liable for negligent acts of the children and employers liable for the acts of their employees

I don't want to speak to soon, but I think this is going to get resolved. Premium aquatics and Bashsea are willing to stand behind their product and send me a new sump (as they should) I also want to be very clear that I've dealt with Luke at premium aquatics for over a year now, and he has always been a stand up guy, so i'll keep everyone posted, and let you know the outcome.

I have fixed acrylic before using weld and cement. I preyed a slight gap between the two acrylic pieces, and used 200 grit sand paper and the used compressed air to clean the area free from dust. I then added the acrylic welding material and clamped it. 24 hrs later, i added a seam of acrylic cement on the outside. It has held fine since, this was on my overflow.

I don't think anyone disagrees this can't be fixed, but spending 2k for a brand new custom sump I shouldn't have to be repairing it after owning it for 2 months.

Honestly i didn't read anything just saying how it would be fixed based on the pictures/my on successes with acrylic. I would agree with that statement and would contact the manufacturer.

Nice redfish by the way.

nice chrip dude. and im sure there are many ways to fix acrylic. i have used this method successfully with welds that have continued to hold after years of use. and if to your standards im doing fixes the wrong way, telling me I'm wrong without pointing me in the right direction really does nothing to help.
