Grant Mag One Filter

[Onoff]

Anyone know of these? Asking for someone on another forum. Apparently leaking around the black cap on top which I take to be the magnet:

 

 

 

Pretty sure on my IntaKlean2 you can remove the magnet without causing a leak like this. Maybe an O ring gone?

Quick search and they do leak - set of o rings for it aren’t expensive

Thanks. I did just find that.

Don’t forget silicone grease on the new seals and a smear into the valleys of the threads of the lid so it screws on / off easily, eg with little torque.

I can't have put enough silicone grease on the lid threads on my IntaKlean2. Was easy to get on and off to start with but now not so much. Maybe easier when cool?

Errrr, yes..... Not very often do you open them when they’re hot

Problem found. The casing round the magnet has disintegrated. Thermal trauma from an overheat / kettling occurrence or something in the water?
