I had a similar problem recently but one of my barbs crack the housing, I used coral glue and work well until I got the replacement part.

I tried adding plumbers tape, and re tighten , o ring was in tact. So not sure what the deal is lol

Instead of buying, I found this hidden at the bottom of my supplies. Wondering if this would work as well? Thanks guys

I did not think so but I’ll re check before heading to the store tmrw and add more tape. planning on contacting the manufacturer for some replacement parts :) thanks!

Shouldn't use tape on plastic to plastic threads. Put some spit on the o-ring and spit on the threads for a bit of lube. Don’t over tighten

Lube the o ring with some silicone paste.
