Eheim Ecco Problem - Eheim's Response
Dear,
Thank you for your e-mail. Could you tell me where this filter is leaking from. I think leak could be caused by a misplaced o ring. Please check is in the right position and that it is not twisted. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further assistance at 1-888-343-4662 Mon-Fri 9:00am to 5:00pm ET. Yours truly, Ernesto Cedeno Technical Support http://www.eheim.com EHEIM North America Reg. Advice seems to fall in line with everyone else's. "Philippe Lemaire (remove oldies)" wrote in message e... Mine is an old 2213 with no "automatic" lid (neither priming)... The lid as two diameters the o-ring has to sit at the very position on the smaller where it touches the larger. When you close by hand you feel when you are not simultaneous. Perhaps your handle prevent you of feeling it. I never did use grease but I had leaks once every 10 closings. You should prevent the O-ring to roll when you close. Philippe "JazzyB!" jazzybjazzy DONTWANTANY @hotmail.com wrote in message ... Well the lid can only be opened simultaneously. It opens by moving the handle which doubles as a water primer and seal lock. I wasn't aware that the o-ring (sealing ring) could go any higher than it already is? In the interim I just bought an AquaClear so the tank can continue to be filtered. That said, I'm not giving up on this 2231 Eheim filter as I really believe that Eheim's are great. I've had several that worked smoothly. I think it's a very small problem. Like everyone seems to say, I think it's something to do with the o-ring which I believe is just a slight problem that can be rectified. "Philippe Lemaire (remove oldies)" wrote in message . be... With a round one as you close it first at one side then at the other you are more likely to leak... Entering the lid vertically can avoid this ! Also putting the o-ring as high as possible with some torque to maintain it high as you release it. Philippe |

Eheim Ecco Problem - Eheim's Response
Also if I remember well and although I never had a leak there
there are 2? quite small 1cm diameter o-rings in the head of the filter after the pump and before the output nose... Not sure for I only clean there every 10 years !

Eheim Ecco Problem - Eheim's Response
Just an update to this email. Eheim actually called me today - I was
impressed - greatly! The tech support believes it's a seal on the inside of the motor. I'm sending it to their office in Montreal for repair (free of charge) and they'll pay postage on return. I must say that I was duly impressed with their response. I guess that's what makes this company a class act. I'll give everyone here an update after I've received it back. I can't wait to hook it unto the tank and remove the AquaClear. "JazzyB!" jazzybjazzy DONTWANTANY @hotmail.com wrote in message ... Dear, Thank you for your e-mail.
