Any Thoughts On The Klir Filter?

You may as well build your own, lol :)

That's the plan. ;)

After reading a few different threads on how others made their own brackets I came up with this. I tested it this evening without having the Klir fleece or motor installed which has a slight leak coming for the whole cutout. Will the leak affect the performance of the filter ? I am assuming the water will still raise even with the leak.

Mine had a bad controller as well, Coralvue sent me a new one promptly. Now that I hav had it run for a couple of days the fleece keeps getting stuck. I re taped it to the spindle but it keeps getting stuck. Idk it works for a while and it’s great but the fleece keeps getting stuck.

So since getting my y cable and installing a new roll both klir now soon together and very slowly not using up much filter like before when I installed it wrong. Should get a good month or so on this.

You are right I should have taken some photos. I’ll try and do it this weekend so who ever has a cube can see what I did.

So the only Trigger sump it fits in through the top so far (with confirmation) is the Trigger 39, but you need to make your own sock tray, which is removable. So no permanent modification.

Trigger 34... Unknown

Trigger 20 Cube... Doesn't fit into the sock chamber and needs widening of the chamber to fit.

It would be cool if people posted their sumps and if it fit directly or how you modified it to make it fit.

We already know it fits the Icecap sumps perfectly.

After you got the Klir through the top, did the sock tray line up, or did you have to make one?

Yep. But like a said you need to creat a custom holder. As the sock holder is oval not circular

I've had my Klir Filter installed for over a month now. And I am having a problem. The water level has risen above the sensor, the blue light is flashing but the motor is not running. I see no snags or hangups that could be causing this.

Help!

I had this issue at first and it was because the roller was stuck. Have you tried resetting it? If you hold the on off button you should see/hear the roller move. If it moves then, unplug everything and replug it back in. My roller was stuck because I have to hinge the unit to get it in and the excess roller paper got stuck when I put it back up right.

Thanks. Figured it out. My issue was that it was getting stuck on one of the rollers.
Hopefully good to go now

Good. Glad you got it fixed. You will notice a difference

I got less than 2 weeks ony first roll. Let's hope roll 2 goes a little further.

So I had suspected my klir was not rolling. Looks like I didn't have it centered properly on the thread or at some point it start pushing towards the side. Looks like one of the bottom rollers also came loose and so I think water was getting through without going through the roller. I unthreaded the roll, threw out the stinky used up fleece and rethreaded it. Let's see how this one goes now.

37 days here and still plenty of fleece on the roll.

Mines going on 2 weeks halfway + done. Guess I have a dirtier tank

I have been running for a week now with no problems. Fwiw in my situation i thought the fleece was getting stuck and the alarm wasn’t sounding. I turns out the keyhole on the spool that allows the motor to turn the spool was loose and it was slipping so it wasn’t moving the fleece fast enough, but it was slipping enough to not trigger the alarm. I took it out and crazyglued the plastic keyhole into the spool and everything works as it should. I am very pleased now and it looks like my spool will last about a month or so. It moves an inch or two every 1.5/2 hrs.

Im blaming mine on the fact I run a bare bottom tank. Planning to see what my next 2 rolls do before I make a finally decision to keep it or take it out.
