Where can I find a replacement O ring? I have had one of these for a few years and the rubber o-ring has hardened and now it leaks.

You can get any replacement parts at www.petfountain.com. Go to that website and select "Accessories". You'll find all the accessories for your water fountain.

They don't sell the o-ring by itself; you'll have to order a replacement reservoir ($14 for the 70-oz). http://store.petfountain.com/filters-accessories

Another thought is to just go to lowes or home depot and find an "O" ring. They might actually have better grade than original.

I don't know. If it were me, I would contact the company to see if they even sell replacement O rings. I'm guessing you will have to replace the whole reservoir.

Try this website for the reservoir replacement. at least you wont have to buy the whole system again. http://store.petsafe.net/accessories/pet-care/fountains

A suggestion to try is to lubricate your existing o-ring with some petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or venerable oil before reinstalling. That may stop the leak and restore your current o-ring. Just be careful not to use too much and don't use anything you wouldn't put in your own mouth. This technique has worked for 2 years for me with no deterioration or leaks at the o-ring seals. I haved used Vaseline, Crisco, and antibiotic ointment in the tube also works well and caused no problems with my fish.

Yes I had that issue when I replaced my filters. If it is comming from the two large openings then unscrew them and re-seat the rubber o-ring. Screw the caps back on and that fixed my problem.

I found a source online to buy replacement O-Rings I paid more for the shipping than the orings! the cost is around .10 cents each yes cents not dollars!! they are located in California the name is" ORINGS.INC" and the part number you will want to order is, 113 S70. Shipping was prompt and delivered by the USPS service right to my mailbox!!! O-RING PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

HI Ellen, The pump I bought came with new O rings, but I bought mine several years ago (its still going). The O rings are a standard size. You may want to replace the flange bolts too. The old ones may be very rusty and seized. Bolt and O ring kits can be found on this site and your local home center for very cheep.

I have never lubricated the o-ring, just made sure the seat is *absolutely* clean and dry before I screw the housing back together. But the only other place I've ever dealt with o-rings is underwater camera housings, so I may be missing something on these Big Blue cylinders.

I've had mine for about 4 years, it now has leakage from a hole in a bottom corner. Time for a new one.

I've had to replace the original, I went to my local ACE Hardware and purchased a standard o-ring to fit, works great, better because it seems stronger, and hold tighter.

I recently had trouble finding a replacement o-ring for this nailer and want to share the knowledge I gained. When it went out, air was escaping from the holes in the cap near the actuator. To get to the ring, remove the rubber part of the actuator, the metal cap, and the top of the casing inside. The top of the plunger inside should screw off, and has two grooves for o-rings. I believe only one is installed initially, but I had success with putting a ring on each one. The ring is metric and was difficult to find in the states. The size I found that appears correct is a 2mm x 17mm o-ring.

Contrary to what some have said, I was NOT able to order o-rings from Thermos (July 2014) but had to order a new cap for the container. Thermos told me that they did not carry just the o-ring. Apparently this (losing the o-rind) is a very common problem.

If you don't use it on the rubber o-ring, the o-ring will not seat properly, resulting it a leak. I know this because I didn't use it and had a leak that was resolved by using the grease.

The short term answer is yes. After several months the O-Ring will go and the pressure will be diminished and you will have to purchase an expensive refurbishment kit. If I didn't love this unit so much I would be pissed.

o-rings are a standard hardware item. You can match up the size at your local hardware or Lowe's/Home depot. Buy a handful of them at a fraction of the cost of ordering from the manufacturer. The o-rings are likely to wear out and deteriorate due to the ethanol in most of today's fuels.

The filter did not come with a replacement O-Ring. I used my old undamaged O-Ring and used it with a FOOD GRADE silicon lubricant because I use my water for drinking and food preparation.

Mine has an o-ring problem and leaks air. It still works but is very annoying. Hope this helps.

you need to lubricate the o-ring before the first use, after that it should be good for sometime. I would check it after each use to be safe, just a general inspection works well.
