So I came back from a trip and my canister was going crazy with thousands of microbubbles every 3min. I did a lot of research to figure out how to fix it but I couldn't get any positive feedback, but a lot of people did say it's probably a leak in the seal. So I disconnected and disassembled it, removed, all its content, rinsed them properly and reassembled them, paying attention to the alignment and proper seal. I also loosened and retightened the hose connectors. Its been more than a month now and my canister still running perfectly. So if anyone out there is having similar issues, here's a probable solution.
