I bought a used Eheim canister filter and it works great, but when it loses power and the pressure inside the canister changes it leaks. If power is not restored the filter will continue to suck out water without returning it into the tank and end up draining it.
The guy that I purchased it from said it had always done that so he just left it in a large plastic bin.
We have a huge storm forecast for today and tomorrow, and my power goes out at the drop of a hat sometimes. Luckily my dad is home today to close off the valves if the power goes out, but tomorrow my house will be empty for a majority of the morning.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Is there a way to keep the filter from leaking or to at least prevent the tank from draining?
