Fluval 204 leaking

[Rgoganj]

Hello D.F :cry:

Can any one help me PLEASE, I've been wrestling with my Fluval 204 for the last 4 hrs !!!!!. :evil:

I can't get the thing to stop leaking, it's gone form a steady leak to about 1 drop per 2-3 second.

I seams to be leaking from the latch area on both sides.

It may just need a new rubber seal between the motor section and the filter section. I've had eheims that have leaked as a result of old rubber seals. It is amazing how much difference there is between old rubber seals and new ones.

Rinse the seal in luke warm warter and give it a coat of vas.

I always keep spare rings at home for my Fluvals. Few dollar could save you load of trouble.
