Two Little Fishes Phosban Reactor

[Chanas4]

I hate it! I am so tired of having to deal with leaks everytime I clean it out.t is the worst pain in the butt.

[SDguy]

Is it under too much pressure Sue? Mine leaks if I try to put too much water through it...

[Chanas4]

I think my O ring needs replaced, its kinda squishy. I am going to try to slow it down too and see if that does it. I ordered new O rings. :-) Of course I still have to use the dumb reactor because it works god but I still hate it.

[SDguy]

Mine only has one Oring :confused:

Im using two of this reactor and i never had any problem, try to lubricate the O ring.

[SDguy]

Mine is piped off my main return line, so the pressure can get really high if I leave the control valve open all the way (which I have accidentally done before :o )

[Chanas4]

I bought extra O rings just for future, but it only has one. I did have it open all the way so I turned it down. We wil see when Iget home if theres water everywhere :-) jeff would have called me at work though if there were

[Chanas4]

So I turned down the flow and changed the o ring. No more leak. :rolleyes: I guess i will get over it now

[SDguy]

Yay!

Sue, I was in the same boat....mine last week:
