Some friends of mine do have those systems installed though. Would you recommend removal of the system? |

Re: Removing Automatic Watering

This leaves a 3/8 inch smooth plastic hole in the center where gasses can vent out. I brought a cap (4 cells combined) into the house, washed it, neutralized it with some baking soda, and then inspected it really well. I don't think there is any chance of acid splashing out that hole as it would have to first travel up and through some channels.. its not a straight shot into the battery at all. My only worry right now is garbage like dust and dirt getting into the whole and snaking its way into the cells. To combat this, I'm going to cut some strips from a 2 liter bottle, warm them up so I can form them into a sort of rolled tubing, and then snap them over the holes. This should keep any dust or dirt from getting in there. |

Re: Removing Automatic Watering
An alternative for the cap would be to use a scotch pad cut to size and pushed in to the opening. I would act as an air filter that way allowing gas to exit but no particles to enter the opening.

I have lots of different materials but the holes are too big or they're all closed cell and won't pass gasses through them. I looked right at the green scrubbies and didn't even consider them.. Great idea! You're a clever rabbit. |

Re: Removing Automatic Watering
Pull off all of the caps and buy standard battery caps on Ebay. You can get them for $1.50 each. Problem solved!
