If it was big enough you could install two pairs of filters to speed things up

Hi all my essencia filter is broke the upper chamber were the ceramic dome fits

Thanks Longy.


Totally feel for you...

same thing happened to me but I also have ez filter so I've transformed that using the ceramic and the carbon filter instead....removed the tap from the collection part on the essencia and plugged the hole with stainless steel bolt and nut...had a mini float valve to make a water regulator tank so used part of that as the thread for the carbon filter, drilled a hole in the reservoir of the ez filter and connected....works a dream...al try put some pics on to show you

Cheers Paul

Same here. If you are very careful you can also use a chef's blow torch

Do or can you post a photo of the damage?? this would help.
If your thinking about sealing it you'll have to take into account the ABV of whatever you filtering, maybe a pure silicon?? I'm not sure.

If it's a flat part of the filter you could glue a strip on the outside...I've used a soldering iron to "weld" a crack in plastic in the past..
