Turbo CO2 reactor and 2028 question

**bttay** · 1st Jan 2004, 10:16

I have a Eheim 2028 connected to a Turbo CO2 reactor (one that forces the CO2 bubbles into a small hole and get diffused into very tiny ones). I guess it is because of the pressure, everytime I turn on the filter (after some maintanance), it leaks a little.

Anyone here experienced that?

Thanks.

what do you mean by leaks a little?
co2 or water or ....?

Thank you Tawauboy for your reply.

What I meant was that water leaked out of the canister filter but only during the impact of water pressure when the filter was turned on. It did not happen before until I installed the reactor/diffusor. Any idea what's the reason?

PS. Your nick tawauboy. Are you from Tawau, Sabah? (Just curious)

How old is your filter ? If more than 2 yrs, its a good idea to change the O-ring. That's the only part of my Eheim that I changed on a regular basis.

My 2026 stopped leaking after I changed out the O ring too.

Cheers!

It is about 6 months old. I bought secondhand.

May I know which part is the O Ring?

Thanks.

The O ring is the seal between the motor part and the container part of the filter. It is a black color rubber.

Anyone here uses the packet of vaseline gel that comes with the 2026?

Thank you, Danny for pointing out. But I am still not very clear.
Could you please enlighten me on which part number below is the O-ring?

Thanks again
