Anyone know the sizes of all the gaskets/ O-rings on an fx5? I want to buy them at the hardware store to save some cash. Thanks.

I found the one on the underside of lid is 1 1/4 x 1 x 1/8. The in and outflow are 1 1/8 x 15/16 x 3/32. 59ยข each. Now I just need to find the lid and motor/pump o-rings.
I had a lot of air getting into the filter so I figured it might be time for new seals.

If you find the o ring that works please post the size here. That would be very helpful info. A little smear of vaseline or some food grade silicone on the new o ring helps them not dry out so they last a lot longer.

No problem. I just got laid off again so I will have some time to see if I can find the larger ones.
