Scuba Sam Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi there, I am struggling with my new filter. Well it is old really. I can't manage to fasten the top down - the O ring seems too big. Any suggestions from Fluval people please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Perhaps you need to buy a new O ring. Ours was too tight and I had to Vaseline it to get it to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Put some lubricant like vaseline on it. That will help you get it on when it's really tight the first few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba Sam Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 thanks for comments. Basically the clips won't fasten over the O ring - its like it is too fat. We will take it in and try to get a new one. Cheers, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Take it in and try to get a new one and you'll still have the same fault, which from the sounds of it is the user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuba Sam Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks for your diagram Ira, I will check when I get home, although I can't say I appreciate being called stupid!! I'm pretty sure we had the O ring in the right place - I use O rings with my underwater camera with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
