When considering the purchase of a canister filter, there are a few additional products that I highly recommend acquiring to ensure its optimal performance. The first and foremost item on this list is a simple plastic container.
Canister filters possess a weakness in the form of a potential gap that may occur between the lid and the filter bucket. Over time, as the canister filter is used for a year or longer, the rubber bushing surrounding the lid can become stiff, diminishing the cushioning effect provided by the O-ring or rubber washer. As a result, water may begin to leak from the sides of the canister filter, particularly when it is under pressure. This pressure is generated when the canister filter is powered off, leading to an increase in water pressure within the system. Under such circumstances, if the O-ring has become stiff, water will escape through the sides of the canister filter.
To prevent and easily detect this issue, it is highly recommended to store the canister filter in a plastic container. By placing the canister filter within the plastic container, any potential leaks can be contained and observed. This allows for early detection and rectification of the problem before it escalates.
In summary, acquiring a simple plastic container alongside your canister filter purchase is a proactive measure to address the potential leakage issue arising from the gap between the lid and filter bucket. It ensures that any leaks are contained and easily noticed, enabling prompt maintenance and avoiding any water damage.
