HEAD UNIT STUCK ON CANISTER BODY
1. While pump is still plugged in and running, remove
the screw cap from the intake pipe. The intake pipe is
the one which feeds the water into the filter unit. This
will create an airlock in the canister body.
2. Once the airlock has been created (you will know
when the water stops flowing from the outlet) turn the
filter off at the receptacle and remove the screw cap
from the outlet pipe.
3. Release the 2 locking clips and the 2 locking levers
and remove a hose from either the inlet or outlet U pipe
by loosening the lock nut and pulling the hose from the
hose tail.
4. Remove the other hose at the tap.
Now place one hand over the tap where the hose has
been removed and blow into the hose.
5.This will create pressure in the canister body and pop
the head unit off.
If the filter is new and the head unit is on tight simply
attach the tap unit and ensure the locking lever is down
so the taps are open.
Ensure all clips are released.
Cap either the “IN” or “OUT” with your hand and blow
into the other. This will create pressure and pop the
head off.
NOTE: To avoid having this problem in the future
maintain your filter regularly! Prior to refitting the head
remove the o-ring and lubricate it with an aquarium
safe lubricant. This will not only improve the seal but
make removing the head a lot easier.
