You will need to remove the pump o-ring and go to your local TrueValue hardware store and sort through their bins of O-rings to find one that is about the same size or slightly bigger but with a thicker cross-section. The o-ring that worked for me cost 60 cents. It should be a much more snug fit to get the pump outlet over the o-ring, then just turn it 90 degrees to lock it in place (and do this carefully so that you do not break the ceramic shaft). That should fix your problem with the pump leaking out microbubbles. _________ >> Insert witty signature quote here <<
