Most likely, the temperature got too low and the water in the bottles converted from liquid to solid.
I would have assumed that when the liquid froze it would have just blown the cap off the bottles.. In some cases that is what happened, but about half the bottle just blew apart.
Ice expands in all directions, so it is not just a pressure issue.I would have assumed that when the liquid froze it would have just blown the cap off the bottles.
I dunno. It says right here on the pool store printout it was phosphates.What do you mean "Most Likely" ??? I'm pretty sure that is "most likely" a fact...
I have to disagree, its the carbonates!It says right here on the pool store printout it was phosphates
It’s a working hypothesis.What do you mean "Most Likely" ??? I'm pretty sure that is "most likely" a fact..
It’s a working hypothesis.
The other hypotheses are:
1) The pressure in the machine suddenly dropped to zero for some reason.
2) Something caused the machine to vibrate and the bottles all got shook up.
Maybe a tornado caused low pressure and also caused the machine to get banged around a lot?
3) Hydrofluoric acid spilled on the bottles and caused the glass to get too thin.
4) Someone put Mentos into the bottles to make them fizz.
5) Maybe the machine got too hot and the Coke boiled and exploded from the pressure?
Just trying to cheer you up.I come here for a little sympathy, and all I get is a bunch of comedians..
OK... I come here for a little sympathy, and all I get is a bunch of comedians..
