How long does the O-ring last before the rubber dries out and is not able to keep the pressure?

So as one other said, they don't always hold pressure. But, I think it does most of the time. My tennis balls have enough bounce it has to be. As for life, mine is 6m old and working about the same as when I got it. I did lube with I think some vaseline. Without that it really drags when you put it together. Some say that's the wrong thing to lubricate it with. I'm guessing you can get another o-ring at any good hardware store.

Mine is brand new; I bought it after seeing a friend's saver perform. Hers is a year old; she plays tennis indoors often. I play with her in the summer months outdoors. She uses the balls (which bounce perfectly) until the fuzz is practically gone. So, for $12.95, it's a great buy as far as saving on purchasing a can of balls every time one wishes to play tennis. Cannot be more specific that that.

Make sure that you have the o-ring on properly. If it is old and worn out, it may stretch and fall off, making it difficult (or impossible) to get a properly sealed pot.

Make sure it isn't over-filled with tablets. It should lock back into place if the o ring is on tight.

I had the same problem and had to replace o-ring under cap but it still didn't work,on my second one,first one cracked down the side after 1 year.

Unfortunately the "O" ring that comes with the housing is the wrong diameter. The housing leaked when reassembled. I had to use the old O ring and then had no leak.

Around 2 hours on full power over 2 night dives. I haven't yet experienced any leaking through the head or O rings. Always best to lube up the ring before tightening up with a good firm screw ;)

As suggested by another respondent, I would guess that your problem stems from the o-ring, since that is the sealing element. I would try swapping the o-ring with the old one and try reinstalling it.

I have not experienced that issue. The maker will have a O ring for you. I think you should contact them. They may have you send it in for repair. Maybe for free.

Hi Roger - could be several reasons.. chlorine level, the suction strength, and, the type of stuff it's picking up, etc. Seems to me that little twigs and even tiny pebbles will shorten the life, as they slowly rub against and wear down the rubber. It is unusual, though for just a 90 day life. How do you clear it out when stuff gets stuck in there, assuming this happens once in a while?

the o-rings on the power hose after using it 2 times are busted,can't find them anywhere.So beware of that issue.The water shoots all over.Very upset on this

I have put it on rubber many times (but not necessarily on an O ring or air gun), and no degradation from what I can see. You may want to check with the air guns mfg though. I'd think it should be ok though.

We had the same problem and needed to replace the o-ring at the base of the water tank. My husband did it - if I recall it was a simple fix.

Mine leaked air when I first bought it...I took it apart, polished the inside of the reservoir and replaced the O-rings...after that, it would hold air indefinitely...

As long as you take the rubber O-ring out you will see increased water pressure.

Getting an O-ring is one thing. Getting it to stay in the cap is futile. It just sits in there no way to make it stay there...

I don't know the answer to your question. Ivan answer that I purchased 2 for my auto repair shop ,and 1 leaked and the other didn't. We used an o ring for the repair . We hung ours in the air about 20 feet, but found a o ring prior just in case. That was about 6 months ago and have had no issues since. I would purchase them again without hesitation. Good luck.

It won't last for "years". The hose fell apart after a couple of weeks.Also the fluid makes the gauge way to slow and just not needed
