Agree with untamed, suspect that pressure is likely the cause. How is the reactor feed arrangement?
I've found that (especially if I was using an older pump on a reactor) I would sometimes have to run a bead of silicone along volute seam. I figure it's better to be inconvenienced if I ever have to open it (and just reseal it afterwards) than have it slowly leaking. So maybe that's an option here... I would still check to make sure there isn't excessive pressure buildup in the reactor though.

no pressure other than 2 feet of head. leak was discovered during testing phase. can't imagine the leak rate when it is under pressure...... i might have to do the silicone trick bur i rather not. maybe i'll try to get a slightly bigger o-ring to see if it works.

Hi Chin
These little set backs are a bit taxing but all part of the fun of doing DIY. I have 2 Sedra 9000 running on my ASM G5 and they are in the sump. They probably leak as well. I use silicone on most of my threaded fittings. I have tried to use Teflon tape but it usually leaks as well. A very light coating of silicone usually does the trick. Tom R
