I've had mine for a number of years and it no longer seems to hold pressure. Will a new O ring solve the problem, and how do I buy one?

New o-rings may be order by sending $2.00 (includes shipping cost)per o-ring to the following address; GEXCO-TOR PO BOX 6514 NORCO CA 92860.

O-ring? Or you tightened up the valve too much and the threads got stripped. I'd ask the inventor of the paintball adapter set up

They don't sell the o-ring by itself; you'll have to order a replacement reservoir ($14 for the 70-oz). http://store.petfountain.com/filters-accessories

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.

I have never lubricated the o-ring, just made sure the seat is *absolutely* clean and dry before I screw the housing back together. But the only other place I've ever dealt with o-rings is underwater camera housings, so I may be missing something on these Big Blue cylinders.

Mine Still works and hasn't leaked. I put grease on the o-rings to help prevent it leaking. If it's within 30 days call the vendor and see if you can get a replacement.

Maybe the o-ring/gasket is not seated properly. Or, call Chapin directly. They have good customer service.

I would try replacing the o ring on the plastic piece inside the siphon. I occasionally (once a month?) thoroughly clean the items and allow it to dry completely, but not every time.

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

Another thought is to just go to lowes or home depot and find an "O" ring. They might actually have better grade than original.

I have never had to replace the o ring on this item. I always buy this item and then replace the whole thing after four to five years after the sun had literally killed the handle or cracked the plastic. But if I was to replace the o ring itself I would take the ring to a hardware store where plumbing supplies are sold, they have all kinds of rings. That shouldn't go for a more than a buck. Once you get the ring remember to lube it after placing it on the hub. Hope this helps a bit.

It could be the gasket. Remove it, clean it well and put it back in being sure to slip the edge under the retaining ring. If that doesn't work make sure the pressure valve is turn to seal, not vent and down in the well properly. Replacement gasket available here for $10.99 http://www.wpcookware.com/products.asp?cat=145&id=49

At any department store or hardware store. Take your old broken o-ring and they will help you match it up to the best fit. I've done this before and I grabbed a whole pack of them because it's a constant problem. Also, if you have another that is torn or wore and if it leaks a little then you can rub vaseline around it to help seal the o-ring. Hope this helps.

I have used mine a few times with no leaks even left it hooked up a few hours to test and it held set pressure. Maybe try new male connector on your hose and see if it helps

You can buy the bottom and the black cap from Miller Mfg. And they will send you replacement O rings for the top, as well. Check out their website... and they are very friendly!

Hello Mine was leaking also after a few years. This one has an "O" ring at the top. Since replacing my old one with this one I have not had any leaks at all.
