The SK-5000 is one of the highest flowing filter rollers and generally works great! Unfortunately, sometimes the roll can get wet and when it does, the cardboard starts to pill and prevents the roll from unrolling. This is a fundamental design flaw by the mfg, this mod completely fixes it! This mod allows the roll to freely unroll wether its wet or dry. It still allows for easy access to add or remove the roll as the plastic is slightly flexible. This mod also moves the roll slightly away from the body for better stability and room.
