JBL filter leaking - replacement suggestions?

[jmkgreen]

I am returning to the hobby following a multi-year absence due to kids.

I restarted the tank but my JBL Cristalprofi e1500 leaks at the tap connector. I’ve just been told my my local stockist that parts for that model just aren’t available any more.

In light of this sad tale is the e1502 a worthy replacement or should I be looking at another brand? FWIW my Eheim (touch wood) seems ok…

Thanks!

Definitely consider the Eheim as parts are well supported, there are hobbyists that have Eheim running in excess of 10 years. I used to own a 2213 Classic that ran very well, I had plecos in that gallon till I retired it.
