I recently came across a Eheim 2260 that is leaking from the front of the pump. Is this mostly likely just a O-ring, and if so, can I find the replacement at City pets ? Do they sell the empeller there also?
Thanks

I am pretty sure City Pets has the Impeller, if not you can have them order it for you.
If you have the old O-ring you could take it with you to Lowes/Home Depot/ Plumbing/Hardware store and they could size you one out of EPR or VITON and fix you up.

I need to go there and see if they have gotten an item in for my eheim anyways... so just checking for your item will not be a problem

Probably just the o-ring but worse case the impeller cap....did you check the fittings?
If you noticed it leaking then I am guessing you have the pump set up to be used externally....check the impeller cap and barb/threaded fitting as well.
It's a little hard to tell for sure, it's a bit dark down there under the stand and all, but I did take it apart, and clean everything. I put it back together and tried it a second time and it leaked even more. OH Well, so much for my magic touch.
I'm pretty sure it is not the fitting, it seems to be coming from back and front as well...???
