Seals Swelled

[Woundtite]

I was trying a new orange flavored juice in my AGA-T+ when all of a sudden I felt juice running down my hand. It turns out that the juice swelled and destroyed the two silicone tank seals! I disassembled the AGA and found the seals swelled to twice their normal size. Doe's anyone know if there are replacement seals anywhere?

Thanks Jeremy. I guess it's no more orange for me. I figured that since the AGA had a glass tank, I was safe. Man was I wrong.

you can get viton orings and a couple other kinds from oringsandmore.com Im using viton in my Igo and AGA. all my juices swell normal rings real bad. viton hold up to pretty much anything.

My drip tip orings get changed once a week. they were so cheap it was easier to get 50 normal ones and just change them

Swelled seals are already pretty self conscious, so maybe we shouldn't call attention to them.

Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Thanks TroyHoot. Do you have the size handy for the AGA and drip tip rings?

2 sizes fit the drip tips. depends what you have. cheap enough to get both. My AGA is the old style (SS screw on tank) so dont think those will work. you will have to measure. those. I just got an AGA T2 from classies last night. havent had any time to mess with it yet really.

Drip tip orings I use are either 6mmx1.5mm or 1/4" x 1/16". If im not mistaken. I can double check when I get home. You get get the standard size ones at your local hardware/auto store. most wont have metric. Plumbing section at lowes has boxes of 10 or 20 of the 1/4". Those are a little big but work on some of my drip tips perfectly. The 6mm ones are a little smaller and work on tighter fitting tips.
