KH Director PH Probe port leaking.

[Mywifeisgunnakillme]

Okay, so i cannot get the KH Director PH Probe Port to not leak. It does not leak when priming the system or when flushing. But small leaks, drops, are occurring during testing. I have reinstalled this thing like 20 times. Tried vasoline. tried cranking down on it with a tool and do not dare tighten any more.

Anyone have ideas?

The unit is new and the gaskets look fine.

I would call the company I had a problem with my probe being bad when I bought the KH director and they sent me out a new probe immediately

There was an older thread on this problem somewhere. It detailed how much to tighten the holder and I remember it was ALOT tighter than you would imagine. I followed those instructions and haven’t had a leak, never used any Vaseline. I also remember having to use a wrench/pliers to crank it.

25th time was the charm.... lol... Thanks for the tips everyone.... I opened up the "prongs" a little bit with my pinky. snug fit the oring/gasket with a little vasoline, added the ph probe, tightened well, and this time its not leaking.

How often is everyone calibrating these ph probes on the KH director? Not that i don't want to do this again... LOL
