    Hi All,

    Iv got a canister filter, but the one connection is leaking terribly, does anyone know where i may be able to get one of these connections from?

    Thank you!

    Ask your local LFS if they can order ViaAqua spares in for you.

    Where is it leaking from?

    There should be an o-ring that forms the seal. common problem with those and secondly never over tighten them as they break easy.

    I did check the O ring, it looks nearly new, it seems to be leaking from the switch, and just below it...

    I had one of those, it was branded as a Atman, it had the same problem. I managed to get a generic set if taps from Waazeers.
