  If the body and bonnet of your SPECS Control Unit are broken and leaking, this could be due to a few reasons. One potential cause is water hammer; be careful during operation to prevent sudden stops in pumping or rapid shutdowns. Another reason could be fatigue; replace any valve that's past its guarantee period or shows early signs of fatigue. Lastly, freezing can cause damage, so drain away any water during winter to prevent this.
