@jerzone@techhub.social You need a water softener before the water softener to prevent all that hard water build up😉 This looks close to the same... See what a replacement would cost🤔 https://www.ebay.com/itm/267716279802

@jerzone@techhub.social On a cheaper note... I'd try inspecting for any cracks and then cleaning that outside rubber seal and its mating surface. It looks like that would be the only area allowing water to leak out. Any other leaks would stay inside the unit? Did you try snugging up those bolts that old it together as a first attempt?

Another project was a new cartridge for shower. Checked ahead of time that HD had it (5 in stock!) and when I got there not only was Symmons stuff on the very tucked in back of the very bottom of a wide variety of other brands, but no part on hand. Gave up and while looking at softeners an associate said "hi" and that was enough encouragement for me to ask about the part. We went over, she verified that yes it was empty, scans tag with bar code reader and heads over to the "alternate" display a couple aisles over (not mentioned on web/app) with at least 5 of them. It pays to talk to someone, sometimes. Also, according to Symmons their brass parts are made in Braintree, MA.
