Best bet is to contact the importer:
click here
they will direct you to the nearest LFS in your area that can help.
in the mean time....
in this position - push the plunger up
in this position - push the plunger down
there is one black Oring... you will have to source it over there locally....if you cant find it, contact me.
Putting it back in is not easy - you have to ensure the Oring is not pinched as it goes back in.... I cannot describe what to do - this part is very tricky.
good luck.

not sure how the original new O-ring should be like.....thicker...more tigher...not too sure...
but do you guys think i can find a replacement at Bunnings??
I might give it a good wash....then put some vaseline and see if the leak still going crazy....
I seem to ring around a few place at my local area...they dont seem to carry Aqua Nova....
Not very popular.....the sales said...Aqua nova has problem after problem....so they dont carry it...

I can send you the right Oring for those units if you need one.
We have not had any more problems than any other Chinese made filter.... the valve seals in one batch and the plunger seals in another... it only affects a couple of models, and these are easily fixed (once you have played with one) and the most recent units are all fine.
I would advise you find someone local that knows about the plunger Orings in Pro 2 Eheims - they go in the same way... be careful not to pinch the Oring on the way back in.
Let me know how you go.
