  • One sure fire easy fix for the leaky check valve problem is to go to a good hardware store and buy a brass ball valve like the one shown.

  • You'll have to take the screen out to get to that. The o ring has become unseated. If it won't reseat, easiest fix is to but a whole new connection.
  • There is a check valve in that fitting to prevent that from happening.
    Turn off the pump.
    Open a faucet to relieve any pressure in the system.
    Take the eraser end of a pencil. In water fill connection you will see a plunger looking piece. Press it in and out a few times.
    Turn on the pump If you're lucky, the leak might stop.
