Astral Sand Filter Lid

Postby BBK » Mon 16 Jan, 2017 11:42

I removed the top of my Astral sand filter and now can't get it to close back up with any sort of compression.

It's not a screw type lid, but one with 6 pegs around the outside which slot into place and are then turned into a locking position. Then a handle on the top compresses a think gasket to provide compression, however when i turn the handle the lid still rotates, and on turning the water back on it flows out of the top around the lid.

It seems like i'm missing a trick with it, any ideas?
