Maintenance Tips
- Inspect clamp hardware and the tank O-ring during seasonal service and any time the filter is opened.
- Keep the O-ring clean and lightly lubricated to reduce twisting and pinching during reassembly.
- If the seam leaks after service, re-check O-ring seating, surface cleanliness, and even clamp tightening.
- Replace rusted or stretched hardware promptly to maintain safe, consistent clamping force.
