I have a brand new model 633 and cannot get it to stop leaking from the filter lid. The O-ring is in place, but it seems like I cannot get the lid tight enough to stop leaking. Any ideas?

It pump seems to be working properly but it sprays water from the filter lid. It is coming out from the edges of the lid, not the air release valve.

Try to use spacers (flat washers) between the filter housing and the locking nut to increase the pressure on the o-rings.

Installed a new oring on my cfr50 filter. Put it on the body of the filter then tightened the lid. Still leaks from the lid. What did I do wrong?

I would clean the housing groove(s) where the o ring lives and tighten it gently just enough for it not to leak. Second chance is coat the ring and groove lightly with a non hardening sealer, can be teflon, silicon grease, foodgrade...
Too tight can dislocate the o ring and is not necessary, hand tighten as you do an engine oil filter, with dabbing a coat on the oil seal.

shut down entire filter for a moment before unscrewing the top locking ring off Uv filter (left turn) lift top off set asside
using a soft clean rag retract uv tube from its cylinder holder inside , remove power connector from tube end (you should have already removed all power from converter box) with extremely clean rag handle new tube ( allow no forign material to touch outside of tube ) reinsert power connector onto new tube (same way it came off old one) then reinsert tube into holder sleeve , route power cord to proper places away from lid , replace lid and install lock ring back with enough force to ensure a leak proof seal , re start pump ck for leaks if none found then restart power converter for Uv filter

Intex plunger valve leaking

Probably just an O-ring. I don't know if you can get a rebuild kit for this valve, or you might be able to just find O- rings that fit.

Hansgrohe PB shower cartridge (brand new) passing water thru cold side with valve turned off. Six-year old cartridge replaced the other day. Removed side filters and cleaned. O-rings ok. Applied silicon...

What is the model number of the unit in question? What color was the old cartridge in the valve and the new cartridge that you replaced it with? If no model number do you have any pictures of this valve/trim in question? It could be that you got the wrong replacement cartridge or something is not properly aligned within the valve. Feel free to contact me direct at Hansgrohe. I'd be happy to help. 1-800-334-0455. Press 2 for tech and ask for David. Or email me at [email protected]

DCC-1200 leaks coffee onto carafe and warmer plate

My coffee pot was leaking over the carafe and onto the warmer. I found that this issue was caused by the carafe lid. The lid was not allowing coffee to flow into the pot fast enough. I removed the inner mechanism from the carafe lid (it pops off really easily) and just sit the lid on top of the pot while brewing, and no more leaks! After brewing, I put the mechanism back onto the lid and twist lid onto the pot.

My 2005 F-250 is reading water in fuel. Where is the valve to remove the water?

You can locate the horizontal fuel-conditioning module (HFCM) mounted to the frame rail underneath the driver's seat. Place a drain pan under the HFCM. Turn the fuel drain lever outwards and let the HFCM drain into the pan until clean fuel is observed coming from the module, then close the drain lever.


I have heard of people having to do this 2 or 3 times over the course of a week to get the light to remain off.


It may be a good idea to replace the filter element while you are in there as follows:


  1. Remove the fuel-filter lid from the HFCM with an adjustable wrench turned in a counterclockwise direction. Place the lid aside. Pull the old fuel filter from the HFCM and clean the filter mating surfaces with a clean rag.

  2. Insert a new filter element into the HFMC until it is fully seated. Remove the old "O" ring gasket from the fuel-filter lid and discard it. Stretch a new "O" ring gasket (included with a new fuel filter) over the lid and work it into the groove. Lubricate the gasket with clean diesel fuel applied with your finger. Tighten the cap in a clockwise direction onto the HFCM with an adjustable wrench. Remove the drain pan from under the vehicle.

  3. Open the hood and remove the fuel-filter housing lid on top of the engine with an adjustable wrench turned in a counterclockwise direction. Lift the old fuel-filter element from the housing and clean the filter mating surfaces with a clean rag.

  4. Push a new filter element into the housing until it is fully seated. Replace the "O" ring gasket on the lid in the same fashion as the HFCM fuel-filter lid and lubricate with diesel fuel. Screw the lid back on and tighten with an adjustable wrench. Close the hood.

Where safety goggles and gloves and good luck.

My rubber seal that fits over the filter lid tore in half, I guess my water is hard and sun deterioated it need to find replacement so water doesn't all leak out.

these o rings are model specific. you need to go to your local intex dealer with the model number, and they can supply. use a silicon based lubricant on the new ring, that will help preserve it. good luck!

My model 603 filter pump leaks at the top under cap

It could be the o-ring on this model. There is a seal on these pool filters that looks like a rubber ring inside the lid. You might need to replace this ring if your pump is leaking here.

When pool turns off all water in system goes through skimmer even forcing the lid to come off, To get the pool running again you have to prime the system

You have air intrusion into the system! There are many options for the cause, but I can give you the most common ones!

1. Once you have the system going, look for drips around equipment, any plumbing connections, the filter and pump especially. If there is a small leak, that is the problem, generally an o-ring has gone bad.

2. If you can not start the system, start with the pump. Check the lid for cracks, the o-ring under the lid, and the plumbing connections should have o-rings also. Then go the the valve, check for signs of leaks there. On the filter, depending on which one you have, there are o-rings all over. The air release valve, pressure gauge, tank band if you have a two piece filter, are a few of the places to look for that leak.
