Ok maybe it wasn’t a disaster but it was a big pain in the butt. It was actually 2 problems that just happened to hit tougher.

1st I was removing my home made power strip to redesign it so i had to plug stuff in other outlets and some how managed to forget to plug my room exhaust fan in. and I for once closed the door to the room. Well with the wonderful Houston weather yesterday the room go up to about 90000% humidity and my RO/DI system was running so the whole thing started sweating all the water pipes that run through the ceiling to the water heater and even my RO/DI holding tank was sweating everywhere.

2nd my refuge return line got stopped up so the refuge filled up and started running out the overflow... which would not have been a problem if i had already finished running the pipe for my overflow gurrrrr I had not finished it yet so water was falling 3 ft in the general direction of my sumps... so most of it went back in the sumps but the rest splashed out everywhere else.

So i ended up with a bunch of water on the floor that i had a vacuum up and a slightly lower salt content of my tank. It could have been worse
