filter leaking

[spartan995]

hey guys, i am having issues recently with my filter top leaking. It is way random. The white plastic part that goes into the filter, that I connect my vacuum pump up to, isn;t holding pressure and then eventually my liquid starts pouring out. This is what I am using..

No bottle top filter has a luer lock. They're not supposed to.

Are you sure the fitting is pushed all the way into the filter assembly? Maybe you got a defective filter. You have any others to try out?

I have made sure its pushed in all the way. I even push it in with my hand and hold it while i pump, that is usually when the liquid is starting to come out of the area. I have gone through 5 filters of the same kind at this point lol..longest 500ml ever to filter..

I'd email the vendor or manufacturer and try to get some answers or money back. I use those same filters and have yet to have a single issue.
