Equipment Review and Discussion :: xp2 leaking help!!!!

[retard]

help my xp2 is leaking i just got it and set it up last night and in the moring my floor was all wet! i thinkits coming out of the back. is there a certian way the top has to go on? i know there only 2 ways it can go on but does it matter? thanks

Yes it matters! Intake has to go to intake and output has to go to output.

Check the four clips that hold the lid on. Are the all securely fastened?

Also check the black housing/o ring around the top of the filter. Is it securely in place?

Already checked this. Iam not talking about the imput out put, iam talking about the lid part

Already checked this also
Thanks though let me know what eles i can do

[SpotsMama]

Have you checked for cracks in the plastic? If any of the housing are clips are cracked, it would probably leak.

One other source of leaking water is where the intake and outtake hoses connect with the other parts of the filter. They are really hard to fit over the nozzels. I think the setup instructions wanted those hoses to cover the nozzels by an inch or more. The only hard thing about the setup, I thought, was attaching those hoses.

Try to find the source of the leaking water.

I maybe should have asked this before---what do you mean when you say you think the leak is coming from the back of the filter?

Is the level that releases the tubing completely pushed down?

[retard]

i think i might have fixed it, its in a big tubber ware type thing, iam gonna check all the hose's in a minute. Marisa, iam talking about behin where the intake and out take are if that makes sense.

Unplug your XP2, then lift up the black handle, remove the whole intake and discharge piece, (lift up) and then reseat it. Make sure it goes in good.

Then push the handle down, wait 2 minutes and plug it in...

That sounds like the lever/handle Muirner and I were talking about. Was that what caused the leak?
