I am at a loss, but I will be following and seeing what I can find

 

[Manny]

Are you using hot water to clean the units?

 

[Luke.]

Looks like cracked glass ? But those are plastic no ?

 

[Pistol]

Were they both made from the same company?

I do use hot water But they are plastic I would think that would be it would it It is a bubble magus skimmer and a lifeguard aquatics media reactor

 

[dale]

going from hot to cold will crack them like that (hot on one side, cold on the other).. dishwashers will do that..

This happened to my NYOS skimmer cup, not to that extent but the same “internal” cracking. It never touched hot water. It’s a manufacturing flaw.
