Any recommendations for servicing Eheim recent model External Filters ?

I've had one running for 12m with no issues (cleaning it out every 4 months), I would like to keep it that way.

I'm particularly thinking about the main body seal - anyone replacing any part regularly to ensure
constant reliability ?
 
Best advice I can give you is sell it, mines been nothing short of being a misery to own over the last 4 years despite replacing the seal sets every 12 months it has leaked, the thermostat has failed 3 times and despite John Allen repairing it (for free) and sealing the electronics they are at a loss to explain why this keeps happening.

As for Ehiem themselves two letters to them direct and e mails to the UK rep have met with zero results for a £500 plus filter plus media I for one wont be buying another one. Best of luck and sell soon.
