Re: Eheim Ecco Problem - Eheim's Response

Dear,

Thank you for your e-mail.  Could you tell me where this filter is leaking
from.  I think leak could be caused by a misplaced o ring. Please check is
in the right position and that it is not twisted.  Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you require further assistance at 1-888-343-4662 Mon-Fri
9:00am to 5:00pm ET.

Yours truly,
