[Resolved] Continuous problems with old system.

I recently acquired a 4 pot system, although the designs seem different to what I see in the marketing materials. My pots for starters have inch high cut outs around the bottom edges rendering root control discs almost useless.

I’ve had constant issues with leaks from the valves and the tap on the res (another thing I don’t see on other pictures).

Finally, the plastic is weak and brittle in the valves and snaps easily when cleaning.

My question is do I have some kind of knock off system? Or do I have an older less refined one, and would purchasing a replacement suit me better.
