They address a couple things that are a concern to me....
1) the output line is just a straight 0.25" fitting that has potential to get clogged. They glued a 90-degree elbow in hopes to prevent that. I'm considering going so far as drilling for another safety output above the existing one. It all depends on what kind of fittings I can find locally....
2) the power input to the stirrer is an unshielded non-waterproof connection at the bottom of the unit. Over time it has the potential to get corroded. I'll probably goop some silicone around the plug making it semi-permanent.
