Leakage after installation or cleaning
A slight leakage after installation or cleaning of the filter is most likely caused by a problem with the
sealing between inlet/outlet connection piece and the filter head or lid.
The inlet/outlet connection piece for the hoses has two O-rings on its lower side to seal the filter head.
If these O-rings are dirty, off-centre or damaged, they can no longer seal the filter head properly. Water
gets into the filter head. The water leaks from the lowest point of the filter head, which is usually the clips
on the side of the filter head and canister.
This problem is easy to solve. Clean and check the O-rings. Also make sure to clean the spots where
the O-rings are inserted into the filter head regularly. Algae growth or sand can impair or damage the
sealing properties of the O-rings if these spots are not cleaned on a regular basis. This problem can
also appear after initial operation, e.g., because of sand.
Please allow sufficient time for cleaning the filter; if this is not done carefully and thoroughly, the filter
may still leak even after cleaning.
If water still leaks from the above-mentioned point despite a thorough cleaning, check the fit of the O-
rings inside the connection piece. This requires opening the inlet/outlet connection piece. Please contact
our customer service in this case.
