Magnum 350 Help

[bullseye69]

This is the Filter that came with the used 60 gallon i bought. I went to clean it and its missing the rubber gasket for the Impeller Exhaust tube. Is it safe to run the filter without the Impeller Exhaust Tubes Rubber Gasket. It is spitting back through in to the filter at that point but also still pushing up through the exhaust tube but at a slowed flow rate.T


Thanks

so i should turn it off till i get the gaskets then? i do have a bio wheel 350 running on it also. It should be ok

You can run it, you will just have reduced flow.

Tips from our Techs
Having an extra O-ring around can be a lifesaver. The filter will not work without this simple part. Using silicone lubricant on the O-ring will keep it supple, extending its life, and make it easier to get onto the canister lid.
