Possible Causes
Loose DAB union nuts, damaged union O-rings, cracked pump housing threads, incorrect use of sealant or tape
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Turn off power and relieve system pressure before loosening any unions.
Steps to check:
- Tighten unions: Hand-tighten the DAB pump unions, then use a strap wrench if needed. Do not overtighten plastic fittings.
- Inspect O-rings: Disassemble unions and check O-rings for cuts or flattening. Replace with DAB-specified sizes.
- Check for cracks: Examine the pump housing ports for hairline cracks. If cracked, the housing must be replaced.
- Reassemble with care: Use appropriate PTFE tape or thread sealant on threaded fittings, avoiding over-wrapping, which can crack plastic.
