SWG cell leaking at joint at high flow

[Davegnh]

So my pentair SWG is fine when run at 20 gpm but above 30 gpm is starts leaking. I tightened the threads as tight as I could with hands and reset o-rings a couple times. I have some food grade oring lube I use for beer kegs. I am thinking of trying this lube. Any thoughts on other things to try first? Maybe need new o-rings but only 2 years old. If I get new o-rings I'm thinking silicon would be better the buna as they more compliant and should last forever.

Thanks

David

Don't over tighten, you don't want to break the threaded collar.
Use 100% silicone lube for the O-rings - somethijng like 'MagicLube II'.

Check connection and collar for cracks.
