Hi Guys - Newbie here....
Is there a way to identify this potential problem in the spring, prior to re-using the taps, visually.???
At this point, replacing them, wouldn't be a huge investment,... but I am trying to be conservative.
I ran a clorox solution through my 3/16" spouts using vacuum, as I pulled them... and my bucket spiles, I agitated in clorox solution and rinsed....

They look pretty clean to me, but what am I looking for in the spring as a potential production inhibitor??

Thanks
