Anywhere sell replacement 'O'-ring for Eheim 2213?

**happydanio123** · 30th Oct 2015, 14:33

Hi guys! Few days ago my Eheim 2213n which is 5 to 6 years old experienced a leak. the leak was at the inlet pipe rotatable joint and could see that the 'O'-ring seal there was kind of disintegrated. Therefore I made a trip to HomeFix and purchased a tube of Selly's silicone which is Aquarium Safe and is even recommended for aquarium use (as it is written on the packaging) and followed the instructions by applying the silicone and waiting about 48 hours or more for it to cure. However, when I started up the filter this morning, water came dripping out much to my irritation and disappointment. I have hence decided that I would have to get a replacement part in order to save the entire filter but I don't even know where to start searching for it! Anyone knows a reputable aquarium shop that sells this particular part or should I simply go online to purchase it?

Any advice would be graetly appreciated!

Cheers from Singapore,

Try checking with C328 or polyart at clementi if they dont have it you have to call quan hu and ask.

C328 or Y618 should have
I think Seaview will have it too...

the best way is you call them and check if they have stock or not before going down.

I think Qian Hu confirm have.

Thanks guys so much for your help! I have come to realize that there is no better an informative or helpful place than AQ! I've ditched the whole replacement O ring idea and just toying around with silicone to see if it will fix my filter.

C328,Y618 should have...those which sell eheim products should have and sometimes they will pre-order. hope this helps

Hi guys! The silicone works! My Eheim 2213 is functioning well and there is no sign of leak!!! I have been using it for about a month now but it's still working OK.
