Aquamist HFS-6 BNIB - Flow Sensor Leaking from the Inside

Hey Guys,


I just installed the kit, brand new.
I ran the pump to test it, and discovered the flow sensor is leaking from
The inside.

Any thoughts??

Tks

Technically, all leaks come from "inside".
Do you see any fluid coming out?
And I thought Aquamist has a huge support forum. Any vendor on here wanna help?

Richard L can be most easily found at waterinjection.info

Pictures showing where it is coming out of or something would help in diagnosis. I know that you can use gasket maker to stop the leaks, but if it is an error in manufacturing I am sure that it will be replaced by Aquamist. They're customer service is top notch.

I do try to check this forum everyday.

Can you check if the two hex nuts are fully tightened. You are only a stone throw away from us. Please tell me the serial number of the FCM.

Can you send the FCM back to me. I have checked the date of manufacture, it is over 18 months old. Who sold you this unit?
