Leakage after installation or cleaning
In case of a slight leakage still persists after the installation or the cleaning of the filter, this indicates
that the problem is most likely the sealing between the hose connector adaptor and the filter head
(cover lid).
The plug-in adaptor, to which the hoses are connected, has on the lower side two O-rings that must
seal the connection inside the filter lid. If these O-Rings are dirty, displaced (out of place) or damaged
they cannot seal properly any more and water escapes in the filter lid/cover of the aquarium filter. The
leak point is then the lowest point of the filter cover/lid and appears typically at the lateral clamping
points that connect the cover lid with the filter tank/canister.
The remedy is here as simple as the failure itself. You have to rinse and check the O-rings. Make sure
that the spots where the O-rings have to be inserted and positioned are free of dirt. On these particular
spots algae formation can appear and impair or damage the O-rings' sealing if no regularly cleaning is
carried out. This problem can also appear in case of a new installing because of sand, for instance.
Please allocate sufficient time for rinsing and cleaning; if this is not done carefully and thoroughly, it
can happen that the aquarium canister filter still leaks after the O-ring sealings have been cleaned.
If, despite a thorough cleaning the water leakage at the above-mentioned spots still persists, you must
check the O-ring seating inside the adaptor. This requires opening the inlet/outlet adapter. Please con -
