Help! My Fluval is leaking!

[JAWZ 365]

you need to lubricate the o-rings. first thing, dry the whole top cover of the canister. make sure there is no water. then grease up the o-ring and the area of where the o-ring should be (make sure no water is there). then fill the filter (bottom part) with water just enough so its full but not to overflow when you put the lid back on. the grease will slide that baby back in and don't turn it on yet. let it sit over night. wipe everything dry while its closed. then turn it on the next day. it still might leak a little bit but it will stop. keep a towel wrapped around the whole filter to catch all the water. keep checking on it every 15 minutes.
