Equipment Review and Discussion :: My xp3 leaking?

[emma]

I just cleaned it out yesterday and when I started it up today, it started leaking, and i noticed it was leaking where the power cord is. The water is just dripping from that. What would cause this?

I've had this filter for about 2 1/2 years now.

[marisa]

Are you sure it's not coming from the top? Did you have to force the clips to latch the top on at all?

[emma]

Yeah it was weird it was leaking from the cord area. I got it to stop my taking off the top and stoping the filter for a few hours but it was weird how it just leaked that way.

Alright so I figured it out, there water trapped in the top of the xp3 somehow. I don't understand how this happened or how to get it out?

[blackforces get you]

i got something similar to that when i washed my xp3.

to get it out i think your gonna have to unscrew that part. because i did it before and there was water in there. not much but there was water

but i don't think you should do that. i think thats how its suppose to be

When I get water in the motor case, I just flip and rotate it around a few times until most of it drains out.

[emma]

Alright, thank for the suggestions.

I took the screws out and got all the water out and now its working fine. This has never happened before in the 3 years that i've had the filter, so its really weird how this just occurrred all of the sudden.
