Maybe the reason that only some report no problems is that the degree to which the screw hole arms extend below the face of the cover has some variance.

my o-ring is leaking barely, and I mean barely. But its still leaking. The vibration is so bad Im emailing marine depot and going to see if I can exchange it for a eheim 1048(with some extra $ of course =\ ). The noise the pump makes is pretty important to me. I still think there is something pretty wrong with mine.
