Folks,

I have a little leak on my RO Carbon filter tank. Haven't had to touch it since I've owned the wash. The leak is between the tank and head. Leaves a small puddle on the ground in the after its midnight regeneration.

Any advice for a newbie on repairing it? Or steps to repair? Thanks!

The problem is that it's probably leaking somewhere not near the point where the water is seeping out. There's an inner liner that keeps the water in and the fiberglass outside is what provides the strength to hold the pressure. I wouldn't waste a lot of time trying to fix it. The tank and media probably wouldn't be more than $300 depending on the size.
