Some people are so simple. The whole point of the makeshift filter is to catch the big pieces of poop so your filter won’t get as dirty. That’s why if you were listening he said he had a bowl ready so when he pulls it out of the water it will catch the poop or whatever else was collected on the mesh. Great idea on how to make it operate better.
If a product uses so many modifications why you want to buy it? The company who developed this thing should be ashamed of themselves. All about the money. Good review and tips. Thanks!
thank you for video, I know it's a two year-old video but maybe you'll get an email about this comment. Do you think stuffing some poly filll in there will work as well. I have bags of that and no filter floss at the moment.
That filter on the pipe makes no sense. You WANT the poop to be sucked up. That's kind of the whole idea of the vacuum. What I did was get a small mesh bag (made for aquarium media) I think it measures 3 in x 8 in. And I put it over the inner cartridge. I took the pull string out and pulled the opening of the mesh bag down to the intake hole and pulled it through. Then I just held the bag open on each side of the cartridge with one hand and slid it in place. It works perfectly. I don't know why the company has not fixed this problem yet. It would be so easy...
The filter is NOT installed correctly, in this video. Which is why it's "not working" correctly. The"tabs" on the side of the filter should be folded over the edge of the casing - pulling it tight, eliminating the filter gapping & movement issues.
Would your modifications also work on the eheim Quick Vac? The Nicrew electric gravel cleaner? Both are less expensive than the fluval and seem to have similar build.

the problem is the cartridge

Perfect. Thank you!

If you wanted a more permanent method of covering those holes use fiberglass.
