what kind of expansion tank works best if it keeps leaking? Where do I get one?

Fix the leak, first. An expansion tank doesn't fix leaks. As for sources of such tanks, they should be on hand at places like Lowe's or Home Depot.

Mine leaked a little at first. Check rubber seals inside the screw on piece.I love this pool, one of the best purchases I've made to date. Look up inflatable intex hot tub. That's an even better buy!

Dudes, try Green Slime sold at Walmart. Buy the large gallon sizes and install it into a leaking tire. It works great. It seals leaks from the inside. Make sure to rinse the clear installation tube when storing, unless it will be useless next time you try to use it. You will also need a valve stem remover and maybe some new valve stems. They are cheap at Walmart.

Ok, first I never fill totally full the tank, only 80% maximum. Second, in your case you should contact the seller no matter which part has problem. I had leaking problem in the filter machine before. They helped to solve it. The seller has very good customer service.

Make sure you have all the air out of it when you screw the top on. I find that helps keep it from leaking.

You might check your local codes, but I believe not. Expansion tanks often are installed on gas water heaters since they may heat in a way to produce some extra pressure. There is a pressure relief valve it there is a pressure problem anyway.

I believe you'll need to get "disposable tank regulators" as opposed to the large dual guage regulators you would use for a full size. eitherway, it has to have a regulator, or gas will release at tank pressure. talk about a bad day.

I doesn't actually expand. It's just a replacement for 60-84 inch hose. However, it's not very well made and I had to replace it in about 5 months. It started leaking at about 3 months and just got worse over time. I decided it wasn't worth getting another one and replaced it with manufacturer version. My 2 FWIW.

My best recommendation is to use a stabilizer in the tank so you don't have to replace it. If you need to drain it you can use a small hand pump (not electric)

You're correct. I've used the plastic one since I bought it 1 year ago and haven't had any leaks. Maybe I just got lucky. As for the regulator, it still works just as great as the day I got it.

Simply go to your local hardware store and buy the appropriately sized hose clamps that tighten with a screw driver. Place the clamp over the end of your hose, fit this over and onto the filter and tighten just enough to stop the leak.

Good luck! My tank leaked on mine and I was unable to find just the tank. This is reportedly a problem with this model. My faucet was ok, just the tank....would have purchased something else, but due to no clearance on the splashback am stuck with this model. If you find where you can buy just the tank, I would appreciate your sharing, since the lifespan is only about 3 years from what I have read. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Stores like Ace or True Value. It's a 1lb tank.You would be better off buying a 20 lb tank and a hose adapter.

I am not sure. I'm sorry I cannot be much help but I would suggest starting with your propane provider or local plumbing store. you are fortunate to have the big tank to draw on. the little 20 pounders don't last too long and very expensive. good luck in your search!

I actually purchased a Propane Tank Fill Adapter that I use to refill from a 20lb tank.It refills my 1lb tanks in about a min. Then I just go change out my 20lb tank at the local hardware store

I gave up continually fixing the badly designed tank made by Emerson. It was a waste on money. I replaced it with a Quick and Hot dispenser from Costco. Faster flow and it has been reliable at about 1/2 the cost. - Phil

I have never had a problem with the unit leaking. Just make sure the tanks are seated properly before you begin.
