unirdna- i got the 9w version a couple weeks ago and mine started leaking. Make sure you do not over tighten the barb fitting that screws into the uv's body. If you over tighten it will split the plastic down the threads. Make sure the washers on the barb fittings seal but dont over do it.
Also you can see that the main body is in 3 pieces. the middle piece is held together with glue. Do not hold the middle body while you tighten the ends, or it will come apart.
The white cotton stuff in the glass should be taken out.
