Leaking filter

[MandyT84]

Hi guys I brought a new filter it is a aqua one aquias 700, this is my first canister filter so new to it all, my question is I have it set up and the tank cycling but the outlet hose where it's connected to the filter has a very slow leak ( maybe a drip every 25 min) I have tried tightening and loosening the tap etc but still happening any ideas?

Yes,

I've had the same thing.

You need to remove the hose from the hose tail, which will be difficult so please be careful not to scratch or snap off the part the hose pushes onto (the tail).

Re cut the end of the hose nice and square with a sharp stanley knife or something like that (careful, fingers).

Boil the kettle and put about 2 inches of the end of the hose into hot water for 30-40 seconds, then push it back onto the hose tail while it's hot/wet.

Nip up the collar thingy that tightens onto the hose and you're away.

I do this when I assemble all my hoses, save any drama later on.

Hope that helps :happy:
