Hi all, I woke this morning to a large pool of water on the floor under and around the tank stand .
The cannister filter is Eheim 2026 prof II. I stripped and cleaned checked all O'rings, had to replace the main O'ring around the impeller head.
main gasket is fine. I took the outlet out of the impeller head to check that also, no positives came from that, everything that should have had lube on, has been lubed. So the service is complete for this half year.
It is leaking a substantial amount of water so I can't even leave the cannister in a 5 gal bucket as it would be full within hours .
I've checked the hose fitting to the cannister, I just can't figure out where the water is coming from, it fills up in the empty cavities in the head unit then spills out over the floor.
any suggestions will be welcome as the fishies haven't had proper filtration all day I have short spurts where I run it then empty the water out of the head unit... not a good situation.
thanks
Stewart
