yes that's my worry. I'm going to call CS tomorrow, see what they say (I'm well within the 2 year warranty period). If they won't send me a replacement part I'll just order one.
HELP: Filter (Eheim 2213) Leaking!

I've had excellent success with super glue, might just be able to do just that, depending on the damage. A plastic weld epoxy sold by Permatex makes it pretty much solid, again depending on the damage.
Advance Auto Parts sells that BTW.

Well good news. They're sending a replacement, free of any type of charge. I just needed to forward them my recite from when I bought the filter (probably to make sure it's within the warranty period). This just adds to the list of why I'm such a fan of Eheim
:grinyes:

heh, I've had similar experience with Marineland when I got my C-160. Had some issues with the impeller (still kinda do, it makes a slight rattle noise) and they sent a new impeller free of charge.
okay. This exact same thing just happened to me a week ago. Same part same everything but an eheim 2215.
I'm in the process of replacing the pump head cover now.
for the record I tried a temporary fix with loctite 2 part marine epoxy and it broke off.

That same customer service is pretty much standard with all major brand filter like Fluval, Marineland, AC, exc, exc.
The important issues with a major band that usually cost us hundreds isn't the customer service but whether the problem is a defect and recurring issue, usually not but it does happen either becasue of design or a new outsourced supplier overseas making the parts poorly out of cheaper materials for the manufacturer who no longer manufactures. Like the SunSun /C-series connection.
