So I built a Keezer last week but the water in there is very excessive. After a couple days there is half and inch of water at the bottom, might be more. I did the Light trick, there wasn't much light but a couple spots...i patched those with spray foam.I drained it and after a few days it still was the same thing. The seal looks good to me. I even bought Eva-Dry and it really hasn't helped from what I can tell. Im not sure what else to fix as everything seems to be sealed up.

^^^Could just be rust colored water.^^^


If everything appears sealed properly, then the most obvious answer is you're opening the lid all the time. Does the water level stop rising once the drain is full of water, and the drain possibly leaks a bit? If that's the case, then your drain plug is letting air in.

Somehow, humid air is getting in...
 
I once had a leak come from the liquid side where the tube screwed into the ball lock fitting. It threw me for a loop even after I changed out all of the o rings.
