Fluval canister...

[Chonk]

I cant get my fluval 305 to seal without leaking water. Do you guys have any ideas or tips that would help seal it? I havent used it in 6-12 months if that is important.

Hey Chonk...

It could be a few things.. Do you have all the pieces to the filter? rubber seals?? any cracks?? ? ?


I found a link to their instruction manual... maybe this will shed some light. . .

If its been a few months more than likely the O ring is dry. They have a silicon based lubricant you can use that will hopefully correct the issue you are seeing. Did some digging around and found Marineland Lubricant which should work nicely.
