Can’t get Leakshield to consistently seal

Freitag, 23. September 2022, 17:22

I’m having difficulty getting my leakshield to consistently seal with the reservoir so that the pressure doesn’t “raise” (?).
I originally had the leakshield on my system, and it would need to pump a few times a day to keep the vacuum. A couple weeks ago, I re-did my loop, and at the end, made sure to pressure test everything but the res/pump/shield, and no leaks were shown. Finished the plumb and it was all good. Barely any pumping for the 2 weeks. However, I only had the red about half filled.

So yesterday I popped the leakshield off, topped the res off, leaving about 20% left, and put the shield back on. And now it’s back to leaking pressure again, having a consistent leak between 0.5-1.3 mbar/min. I tried putting the leakshield back on 3 times, and every time it’s been the same.

Any help would be appreciated.

I found putting a little dp ultra on the seal helped.

I also found that lower pressure is pulling a tube off a little so now I run in monitor mode until I can rebuild loop
