I have seen quite a few people on forums struggling with this so I’ve decided to create this article to help anyone else in this situation.
The correct technique to install the lid/filter head on the Filtoclear series is as follows:
Firstly, wet the seal with water ( from pond or tap ( if in hard water area, use rainwater/RO ).
Then, lay the seal at the very top of the main canister, NOT the lid. You should aim to place the seal as high up as possible, without it rolling off.
Gently place the lid on-top of the canister. Once in position, push down gently until the lid is properly seated.
Place the included band clamp into position around the outside of the filter. You will need to get one part of the clamp in place ( usually easiest if you start next to the hinge ).
You should then easily be able to seat the band clamp in place, pushing down as you go.
I hope this article has been helpful.
