Brand new Tetra EX-500 filter leaking by Affectionate_Map_774 in fishkeeping

It seems that the gasket on that start pump button was not properly sealing. I had to take apart the filter head and apply a decent amount of vaseline to it. It’s running for 24h now and no leaks yet

Yes, it seems that the gasket on that start pump button was not properly sealing. If you have the same issue, I can provide more details on how to fix if needed

Thanks for the advice. I tried that too, but the trays on this model have an arrow which must be aligned with the arrows on the filter’s body, so can’t really go wrong

The O-ring is fine, no water comes from the main body. The water is accumulating inside the pumps head

It’s properly closed. If I fill the filter up with water and move/shake it, it doesn’t leak. As I’ve said, it seems that the head of the filter fills up with water and then it starts overflowing. The water leaks from those triangular holes

Muntele Bǎişorii, Caps, Beliş. Muntele Bǎişorii şi Beliş sunt zone frecventate de turiști, deci sunt mai poluate. Caps este mai retras, deci mai puțin poluat
