OMG Aquatics Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 For those of you who purchased this, was it easy to attach it to your filter? Either I purchased wrong size or I'm doing something wrong. I bought 13mm for Toms Rapid Mini and I'm literally forcing it in to the point where the middle is starting to bend. Something wrong or am I suppose to force it in? CharlesWex, SurraGync and CiaraHono 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Welp. One thing i noticed differently was the open end. http://www.hanaquatics.com/ss-filter-guard/ Maybe that's why I'm having trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forumsnow Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Run it under hot water, the rubber will soften and should slide on. I cant remeber what the opening looked like on mine, i know he makes them all by hand. OMG Aquatics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 What happened?? It looked like it unfolded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 What happened?? It looked like it unfolded? Not sure. I followed instructions. I boiled hot water, dropped the guard in the container. Poured hot water and twirled it around a few times. How do I fold them back in?

Oceangirl Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Are you pushing it in the closed end or the open end? It should slide with slight resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Boiling water made it loose in about 3 seconds and it just slipped right into the tube. All fixed Thanks for offering replacement but it's not needed Pika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Great! Glad it got it all fixed haha! OMG Aquatics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilshieh Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 LOL this was very amusing to read through. Han's filter guards are the best! the slide on very easily and then you kind of push a bit for a tight fit at the end. cleaning just involves taking it off and brushing it with a toothbrush in some tank water and it's good as new!
