I have the ESHOPPS pf-1000 HOB Overflow box.

I hardlined with PVC from the bulkheads to the drip tray. (y)

I have a leak now from one of the bulkheads from the overflow box. :facepalm:

I took the bulkhead apart and cleaned and inspected the gasket and the box. No debri, sand or cracks. :banghead:

re-assembled and still leaks.

any suggestion for an urgent repair?
 
Is the bulkhead itself leaking or is it one of the connections? Are the gaskets on the inside? I.e. where the water is?
 
the overflow box has been together for 7 years and no problems... gasket was on the inside as per directions.


Just after I got ride of the hoses and shifted to PVC is when the leak started.


I found a new LFS in my area and fortunately they stock bulkheads. and they had them in stock!


replaced both on the box since its a dual and all is good now
