Element Cleaning: Identical procedure for Pre-filter and Charcoal Elements
1. Unscrew the bowl counter clockwise.
2. Remove the Plankton Filter Element from the bowl.
3. Remove the O-Ring from the top of the bowl. The O-Ring is fragile, so handle it with care.
4. Clean the mesh screen filter element with a bristle brush and water spray.
5. Wipe the O-Ring with a damp cloth.
6. Lubricate the O-Ring lightly using a sparingly amount of O-Ring lubricant.
7. Place the O-Ring back onto the bowl.
8. Insert the cleaned or a new plankton filter element into the bowl.
9. Screw the bowl on clockwise.
10. Hand snug to seal the O-Ring; do not use a wrench or other tool to tighten; do not over tighten. Over tightening
may damage the threads in the bowl or housing and will cause removal to be difficult.
