I have 2 of these filters and yesterday I found out that one of them is leaking from the shut off Valve set ,the part that connects the 2 hoses to the pump head.(part # 7444578.) .
It cracked from the base of the barbed outlet ,the reason was :there was some stress on the connection ,I think the hoses were a bit too long and putting pressure there and after 8 months it finally cracked:angryfire
the replacement cost was $43.00 (cdn).Luckily I was home and stopped the filter just in time.
My advice to those who own these filters :tie/tape the hoses to the stand so there is no stress on the shut off valve .
