Magnum 350 Warning

[jusmad]

For those of you who have the Magnum 350 filters, here is a little heads up for you. After cleaning my hoses for the first time I found that when you reconnect the hoses at the tee connection , a leak may occur. I left the filter alone for a while and when i came back, i found the top portion of the Magnum flooded with water. My solution to this was i got some hose clamps from Checkers Auto and placed them around the hose at the copnnection. This fixed the problem right away.

Good Luck.

I always ended up with air in the top of the canister after a filter cartridge change - so like an idiot decided to top it off by adding water through the hose. WELL - make sure the other hose is unbstructed! I thought the disconnect was open and it wasn't - built up enough pressure that it exploded the canister cover off and sprayed water everywhere

Thought everythig was okay until I went to re-seal the lid. I'm now missing 3 of the 4 metal clamps!! Other than the missing clamps eveything seems to be fine - albeit nonfunctional.

Gotta order a replacement canister.

I've always used hose clamps on mine from the git go. never trusted factory seals and screws..lol
guess I had good reason... your hose probabbly stretched some as well..
