Canister Leaking - CF-1200

[felix_fx2]

Hi guys,

Got a canister from a nice bro here.
Using it from the bottom of my 3feet tank.

The canister leaks slowly, not from the O-rings from the side.
But instead its from the handle slot of the canister.

The kind bro has already swapped it with another one and we tested it at his place for a short period of time. upon return test same thing happen.

My knowlage is that it's a recently decom set, and was running well before.
A pictures says a thousand words, now here's some.

Likewise, I was using a CF-800 in the exact same place and had no problems.

Can someone give some suggestions as i don't intend to go change again.

huh!!! again????
i guess i better refund you before you gets anymore problem with the canister.

No worries alan, i strongly suspect its something i did miss out myself.
yesterday took out the O ring and wash it and the place it seat in. so far so good.

now testing on my 3 feet, if still good must be the place the o ring seat dirty (i wash the one you kindly swapped off).

LOL.. sorry!!!!
but that o ring shouldn't be a problem de lei. did you place the trays in correct orders?

[felix_fx2]

yup trays were correctly placed.
Tested the whole yester-night and during the day using low height no leaks.
When i try from the floor to my 3feet tank on WI stand, it started again.

At least now low height should be not leaking, now good chance O-ring not sealed well...
So tonight try again lol, things like this i call "school fees".

..... You see how Ba. Any problem just look for me again la.

this is to update that issue resolved.
1: i opened up the whole canister part by part. reference to my CF-800's box showed places where other O-rings where disassembling is required. (i slilcon taped 1 round at the parts where inlet outlet plug is)
2: Added O-rings to the inlet/outlet plug.

Canister is up and no leaks for last 2 weeks.
Would like to add alan is a nice seller.
