Received a brand new classic 2217 this afternoon from Amazon, got it all setup (sponge filters not biological media set) using my old sponge media and the stuff that came with it. Anyhow after 2 hours my cabinet was soaking wet but luckily didn't seep onto the hardwood.
I shut off all the connections and emptied the canister, checked the big orange oring for cuts ect then applied a little Vaseline.
(Shouldn't have to be doing it on a new pump I know)
Put it back together inside another bucket and primed the classic. 30 mins later it's making I high pitch sequel sound so I moved it slightly and water starts spraying out from the pump clips, not cannister clips. Sounded like air escaped too.
Anyway it's late so I just put my internal back in for now and got amazon to return it. Not happy since I went for classic due to it being very high regarded.
Anybody know if it sounds like the pump head o-ring or something similar?
