We have mostly switched to either the Findenser or the Asynt CondenSyn air cooled condensers in our Medicinal Chemistry labs.

Subject: [external] [DCHAS-L] flood prevention question
Hi, all,
We recently had a flood due to an insecurely attached hose on a water-cooled condenser set up overnight.
So I am on the hunt for ways to reduce this risk, besides attaching the hose more securely. I know there are recirculating system options, but I don't know what's suitable for overnight cooling.
All input welcome,
Thanks,
