Hi, John, Sounds like you're describing the alternative water delivery system for the Ultra Tec. It is an articulated arm that can be bent in almost any...
When I got the new version of Facetron's drip tank it already had a hole in the lid. Have they stopped doing that? Anyway, I still find the valve to be quite...
