Has anybody had a leak with the quick-connection on an Eheim?

We have a 2217 and have pinpointed the tiny leak (1 small drop every hour or so) to where the Eheim tubing connects to the quick-connect valve.

I have tried several times making a new connection. I have tried heating the tubing under warm water so it forms to the connection. I have tried teflon tape. I have tried everything I can think of.

Any successful patches / solutions?

Is it best just to order a new quick-connect valve.

BTW - this is Eheim # 4 and the first leak.

Thanks a bunch,

Coy
 
i think a few people have had problems with these, i would call the company.
 
There should be an O ring on the QD make sure it is free of debris and lube it up.
Have you tried this yet?

Exactly I had the same problem and this fixed it right up

Ditto - there is no O-ring here. I am talking about the double-tap quick connect coupling that is in the return line.

The plastic ring in the shape of an O on the nipple(that goes in the female end of the double tap connector is where my link was. On the center of the double tap connection :)
