[Rhodes22-list] Laz leakage another reply to Rory

[Hank]

I haven't figured out exactly what I want to use yet.  I'd like to find
something with a strainer on it to keep the leaves and other crap out, but
all of those that I have seen are flush mount which means I have to bevel
the hole.  Not something I look forward to doing.  When I decide, I'll let
you know.
