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.
