Possible Causes
Loose drain plug, Missing or damaged drain plug gasket, Cracked housing threads from overtightening, Incorrect replacement plug
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the pump and close valves. Allow pressure to dissipate.
Fix the drain plug:
- Unscrew the Speck drain plug and inspect the O-ring or gasket. Replace if flattened or cracked.
- Wrap the plug threads with PTFE tape if recommended by Speck for your model.
- Reinstall the plug hand-tight, then snug slightly with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
If the housing threads are cracked, the pump housing may need replacement.
