need help with Jebao CF-30 filter

[mountaindew]

If anyone has one of these I sure could use your opinion.My filter just started leaking right behind were the hoses hook up.When I took that piece off there are 3 o rings but they dont look bad.If someone has had the same problem or knows what I am talking about please help me out

Very few on here use pressure filters at all. Hopefully someone that has used that unit in the past will chime in that can help. I will say look and see if any of the orings have a flat edge in them. If so they probably need replacing. Orings can look fine and still causing leaking issues.

was it leaking by the inlet or the outlet? I have one of these, but mine has the uv filter with it. only 2nd season so no problems yet, but I am familiar with the design

It is leaking behind the inlet and outlet connection.There are 3 o rings behind there.I am having a hard time finding that size to replace them

 

[herzausstahl]

have you tried a plumbing supply store or ebay with a search for jebao replacement parts? other option is to email the company and see what it would cost to order them from them

 

[mountaindew]

Tried ebay and even contacted the company with no luck.I bought a o ring set from harbour freight and I an going to try that

 

[mountaindew]

tried new o rings,not the problem.Back to the drawling board

 

[herzausstahl]

can you take pictures of the hoses connected and where you see the water leaking? on the bright side you found replacement o-rings and let me know where I could get them if necessary

 

[mountaindew]

I found the o rings from a guy on ebay.Received them today and fixed the problem.Thanks for everyones suggestions
