Trouble Shooting: Water Leak

1. If water drips out from the water hoses connected to the anode assembly, the o-rings in these hoses maybe bad. Stop water chiller, unplug water hoses to anode, and then change defected o-rings on them.

2. If water drips out from the cooling water main port of the anode, the block through which the belt goes, you may have a leak inside the anode. Then change water seal or change magnetic seal cassette.

3. In this case, you will also need to polish the anode.
