Anyone else have a similar issue?  A8C786F2-FC2D-4D9F-9AB6-22AF159F0CD6.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I bought a used RSR and had the same problem. Here is what I did and it worked great. 1. Take the tubes out and pry off the o-rings. 2. go to the hardware store and buy new o rings. same size or a TINY bit thicker. 3. buy a little pouch of silicone greese.4. grease o rings, install, smear some grease on the female parts. 5. boom, no more leaks.

shaywood Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Be careful not to overtighten Red Sea pipes. I keep an extra lower pipe on hand because it cracks and starts leaking every few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
