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

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.
Mine only has one Oring

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

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
So I turned down the flow and changed the o ring. No more leak. I guess i will get over it now
Yay!
Sue, I was in the same boat....mine last week:
And now, after cleaning, resealing, and keeping the flow LOW

Much nicer peter. I have extra o rings if you ever need any. I bought three of them cuz I was mad :-) I should clean mine too so it looks like your bottom pic.
