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.
