Issues w/ Eheim Professionel 3 - 2075

[BrAin]

I have a 2117(?) it leaks also. Had to use silicone but scared it will leak again. Got a 2224 and it seems to be pretty simple. 2075 was my best but now has issues. Also got a marineland that leaks a day after i clean it. Its in a tub so I can catch the water until it stops. I dont seem to be having much luck with canisters.

you can always buy a new.... put the leaky one in the box from the new one and take it back and say it leaks and ya want your money back

So I took the top cover off the filter and hooked it up outside in the yard. Water was coming from the primer bulb like you said. Only issue was that I didnt see any o-rings. I cleaned the parts up and dried before I put a dab of silicone around the edge. Its drying and I will try to run it again tomorrow. See Pics

No more leaks. Im going to run it out in the garage for the night as a safety precaution. Thanks for the help once again.

So....This thing is leaking again. Any one ever had luck with sending them in to be serviced?? I sent an email and had to wait a week before they asked a question. Now I'm waiting on the next reply. ( maybe in a week)

I have four different canisters all leaking. Three are eheim.

Not to discourage you but........check the net....a lot of people are having problems with the Pro 3 series of Eheim filters . Google your issue and see if you can find some solutions .

I just want to have them fix it but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Might be cheaper to part it out and buy a different model.
