TheGr8Blade Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I cleaned up my fluval today and now I cannot get it to lock down . I don't know what it can be. I have the proper amount of media, vaselined the o-ring. If anyone has an idea to try (besides chucking it into the laneway LOL), please let me know. I have cleaned it before and never had this happen. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Is the tube lined up inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qattarra Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I personally own 4 fluvals and honestly will never buy another. I assume it's the canister? Try taking it appart again, the baskets may not be alligned and locked down, the top may need to be repossitioned. All else fails , take it to the range and shoot it, I'd like to lol.

HOSStile Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Wendy have a look at this and compare the height to the picture with the top lid removed. There are 4 little tabs at the bottom of the cannister that keeps the baskets centered.maybe your baskets are sitting on top of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGr8Blade Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Tried locking it down "without" the baskets and it still won't lock. I don't know what's going on. I have done this hundreds of times and now this. Thanks for helping out. Edited February 8, 2007 by TheGr8Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSStile Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Is your O ring on the lower flange. I could send you a PDF of the manual if you pm me your E-mail address. LMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGr8Blade Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Was buggering around with it again this morning and YES I screwed up. I figured it out and got soaken wet in the process LOL! I had the O-ring on the upper lip rather than the lower one. You guessed it Harold. No prizes but thanks! Thanks to all the tried to help!

werner Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hee hee- it'll look just like the scene in "Office Space" when they beat the copier to bits. Don't forget the gangsta rap soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
