Bart Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi, I cleaned my eHeim 2211 pump yesterday and when I reconnected the quick disconnect on the out flow side, it started to leak. Any suggestions on how to stop the leak other than replacing the Quick Disconnect? The eHeim hose says it's 9/12 mm size. I live in Eugene, OR. Any suggestions for someplace that I could buy a replacement? Thanks, Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Not fimilar with Ehiems much........ but can you wrap plumbers tape around it to make it fit better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Cut both ends of hose and install a male/male barb fitting or take it back apart,inspect the oring ,clean it or replace it and reinstall. I have an extra ehiem pro 2 that I use for a carbon reactor. You are welcome to borrow it until yours is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Fixed leak with Plumbers Silicone Grease I took the disconnect apart and applied Plumber's Silicone Grease around the o-ring. No leak. Thanks for your suggestions. Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
