Anyone had the issue of water leaking from where the power cable meets the pump/motor? Hooked the new filter up last night, woke up to a MASSIVE mess.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

You're certain it's from the power cable? One time i experienced the same, however, it wasn't the cable but the seal between the canister and the lid. The rubber seal (which is just a rubber square) was twisted and not sealing correctly :( Check this, otherwise send it back for a replacement. That does not sound good if the power source is leaking:(. Good luck. I've had great luck with this product, i hope the same for you

No, sounds like something isn't in tight. I've never had a problem with any of mine leaking. Give the company a call

I had the same thing. It was dirty... Use white vinegar to clean the water reservoir and fan. Replug in, place in the reservoir tank filled. It should work. These need new filters about every three months because they filter alot of air, its amazing whats in our air..especially if you keep a window open... Hope this helps.

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

Did you remove the water filter from the Sun Joe, use needle nose plier pull that little white plastic out before you connect the new fitting, the reason it leaked bad because the new fitting already has the water filter. I has same that problem ,so after I pull that water filter from Sun Joe out, it worked good , just very little leak, I used teflon thread , no more leaks.

I have not had a problem with mine. Did you check out the video's on how to clean the pump? That might help.

In mine, the rubber washer was not fully inside the female end, and water came out there, but the fix was easy. That is the usual place for leaks - at the connection points.

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

So far I haven't had that issue. I just clean off the filter - wipe off with paper towel or hand and replace it. I haven't had it longer than about one month.

make sure the intake is clear. mine gets algae and 'junk' in it and it need cleaning regularly.

A couple of things come to mind. Is the panel dirty and need to be wiped? The pump may be working but the intake could be clogged and needs to be cleaned out? Is the pump submersed fully? I found my pump not working (but I can't see mine) because it was above the water line, adding water solved it.

I had the same problem upon arrival from amazon. Called Saeco and they set me up within a new port filter, and it works very well!!!!

Clogged up....take the cover off the front and clean it out with running water, if you haven't fried the motor (you'll hear it running) it will start pumping again.

I actually received a little water with mine! Imagine my surprise when I was looking at the specs on the motor housing and noticed water on my countertops. Appeared to be clear but smelled stagnate (the blue covers had fallen off the threaded cinnectors and allowed the water to run out). Shipping was several days later than promised, but I have not connected pump yet so I dont know what else comes with it (hmph).... sounds like some better QC is in order here. I did get the threaded to barbed connections.

My pool people says with loud sound , it is on its last leg. Mine was also leaking water. I replaced rather then refurbished.i believe was right move. However if not leaking and working wait till it goes. Bought new pump online ,less money then local. Noise from housing motor !i believe he said.

I have not had this problem with either pump I installed. Possibly water is not staying in the line and the gaskets are getting dried out or your intake and overboard discharge are clogged and water is not flowing smoothly through the system or (if you have one) your holding tank is full so there is no place for the water to pump into...

I had small leak where hoses entered the pool. However, I think you are referring to where the hose is attached to the pump. If that's the case I would check the O rings and make sure the coupling is alined correctly with the threads. Sometime plastic threads and coupling can get easily out of alinement during installation. Good luck!

dry it off and manhandle it. never had a problem here. only hard part is getting the leaking to stop with new filter. must clean o rings and make sure filter is spotless or it will leak.
