Glad to hear you've finally got it to stop leaking. Keep us posted on how it holds up.

Thanks!

On a side note, i forgot to mention that i used regular screws that requires a philip screwdriver. It was the same thread and got them from Home Depot. I first went to Lowes and showed them the screw and told them i needed something with the same thread not necessarily the same head. They were no help at all and looked at me weird like they never seen a 6 star screw before. With the zillions of screws they have, they looked around for 10 seconds and said they had nothing similar, not even in length or thread. So i left and went to HD.

This was a awesome find. Thank you so much I bought a leaky 2075 for cheap and this fixed the problem. This should be a sticky in every forum.

Nice...what fixed your leak? Was it the screws too?

Thats where I went for the screws, here its the part number HO1707285.
Screws 6x3/4 SS, they are not the same head but same tread, they work.
Also want to mention I used the impeller for a 2028, the filter runs quieter and a bit more flow, I tested my self, basically the same impeller different blade.

What are the numbers that you got when you tested the filter?

2075 is 330G/h motor out

1) what is the gph of the 2075 with media? ( filter circulation)
2) what is the gph of the 2075 with media ( 2028 impeller) ?
3) how did you do your test?

I used a Tom flow meter. The test was done at 45" of head, no media on any of the canisters.
2028 at 45 inches its 180 gph.
2217 at 45 inches its 182 gph.
2075 at 45 inches its 210 gph.
The 2075 has 3 blades 2028 6 blades, I also modified the blades making them bigger and the flow on all the canisters went up to 250gph, no noise difference on the 2028 and 2217, but 2075 its lauder, so I stay with the 2028 impeller for the 2075 model.

Here its an updated on the leaking eheim pro3 2075. The leak comes from under the priming rubber seal, you can see it by taking the cover off and run it, make sure you put in place the hoses and don't move the filter at this point, hoses will come loose (picture one). I used a small screw driver to take the six point screws from the cover, I said this because the position of two screws its very hard to get them out if you don't have the right tool, eheim its making thing very complicated now.

Next take the priming seal out, 4 six point screws easy to get them out, hold the housing to avoid sudden detach from motor, two o"ring on the mount of the motor, make sure they are clean and no cracks, lubricate them, clean the primer seal lubricate it also.
Put it back in the same order, before you screw the priming housing make sure its snug nice and tight.
Finally i replaced the silly screw eheim put on the filter, for more easy to work, they have to be the same diameter and tread, otherwise it will crack the holes.

I'm thinking of buying a 2075 has Eheim corrected this problem, any more complaints of leaks with the 2075? thx
