Mag O-rings


I just put 2 Mag 9.5's on my sump/refuge for returns. They are plumbed in-line as external pumps. Although I put silicone lubricant (Pentair) on the o-rings... one of the pumps is slowly leaking from the seal. Any idea where I can get slightly larger diameter o-rings for these pumps?

Sorry to say they just graduated to in-sump only pumps

Nah... I'll figure out something. I may run a very small bead of silicone sealant around the o-ring before putting the pump back together.

Wow... thanks for the link. Can I just buy individual o-rings or do I need to order 100 or something. I can't tell from the site, but is there a storefront where I can go in and get what I need?

Thanks again!

Sent an e-mail to them asking for more specifics. This is the reply I got:

Precision Associates sells to the public. You may purchase any quantity you wish as long as the order comes to $35 if we ship out or $15 if you come to our Will Call/City Desk. It depends what sizes you want and in what compound and if we have stock.
