Clear Ray Leaking

[texstechfan]

Have had a Jacuzzi J245 for about a year and a half. Took cover off  to get to the drain hose so I could change water out which we do about ever 6 months or when chemicals no longer seem to be doing their thing. I noticed my ClearRay unit was dripping water around the housing. Thought it could be the hose connected to it but it is leaking around the back end of the housing. My ClearRay is a model 6472-742. Its time to change the bulb anyway but I am wondering if anyone has seen this. Of course the 1 yr warranty on the ClearRay is up.

Thanks,

I've run into a few units from that time frame that had the same issue so it may have been a bad batch of housings or perhaps the guy putting those together was really distracted for a few months. Either way, there's not much to do aside from replacing it. 

Sorry for the bad luck sir.

Thanks, I took it out and found it to be cracked housing. Jacuzzi said will warranty!  Lucky this time

I'm having a similar problem with model 6472-841 on my 2016  J-365. It has a second generation clear ray. On the opposite end of ballast there is a plastic cover connected with 4 long bolts back to ballast end.This plastic end comes off and there is an o-ring inside that might be my problem.I'm wondering if can replace the o-ring only and stop leak?

I have never worked on that brand, but the ones I have worked on have replaceable o-rings. They may not sell them, but if you remove one and go to a big hardware or plumbing supply store I'm sure you could find something that will fit.
