Need O Ring

[EllieSuz]

I'm looking for an O Ring for my Two Little Fishes GFO reactor. Is there a place on line that sells something like this? I tried Marine Depot with no luck.

What size o ring? I have a box of various sized o rings in my basement.

mcmaster.com will have most any o-ring you can think of. Figure out the size you need and scope it out.

There is a kit that you can buy that has an extra o-ring and some other stuff.

Marine Depot sells stuff like that. I'm not sure if this is the right one for you, but here is one from them.

If you need one desperately, I may have an extra one laying around you can use until you can replace it. PM me if you're interested.

That's the one! Thanks for finding that for me, Nirvana Fan. You're obviously better at searching for stuff than I am. I think I could use a new one next time I change GFO, because there was a little salt creep on the top today and that's never happened before. Nice to have a spare in any case. Thank you all for your help.

no problem. I ordered an extra ring and extension kit with my reactor. They're good to have laying around. You never know when something will break.

You jinxed me! I put my reactor online for the first time in like 6 months. I hooked it up and turned the knob to adjust the flow and had a leak. I looked inside and I had no O-Ring! Good thing I had a spare.

So, if you've got a reactor, make sure to get an extra o-ring. You never know when you'll need it.

Good point.

quite possible the main reason I hate those reactors. They leak. I may have some spare gaskets for you
