Ok, the filter took a dump. it was leaking from the valve, when I first hooked everything up to try to figure out how to get the water ready. So I got online and found the valve clamp that I needed to fix the leak, it worked great till a few days ago, then today I took it apart to clean and relube the gasket, and the NEW clamp snapped! I'm not going to mess with this filter any more. There arent any supply stores in this area that deal with columbia sand filters. So we will wait and shop around the local stores for a new filter. In the mean time what should I do so the water does not turn green or get cloudy???
