I've been researching Perlick faucets and apparently they had leak issues with the previous 525 models. Has anyone had issues with the new 630 and/or 650 series faucets?
 
I have 2 630s on my bar tap for about a year and have not had a single issue, including no leaks.

I did take them apart when I got them and made sure everything was clean and seated correctly when I put then back together.
 
I disassemble to clean when I first got mine. Hooked them up and haven't looked back. They are in the hot garage. No issues!

I'm running 4 630ss faucets for 8 months. No problems.
 
I have four 630ss Perlicks in operation for the last 6 months. No leaks yet.
 
I've had 2 Perlick 630's for over a year leak free, and added three more a few weeks ago and those are just as reliable.
 
I have three 650ss, only one mounted on the walk-in, and it has been great so far.

I do have to say though, I never had any issues with the 525ss though, and I have 7 of those still in use, along with 3 of the 425ss, and 3 original ventmatics. All are working exactly as expected.
 
I had a Perlick 575 I believe. When they were going to be discontinued I placed an order for 2 more. I received one 575 and one 630. The 630 has a shorter throw and feels a little more "mechanical/clunky??" I have had no problems with either model.
 
I have had much better luck with the 630's than the 525's. I am at least a year in with no issues.
