Did you figure out what you did wrong? I am going to do a water
change tonight, and am thinking I should rinse out the filter sponges
from the canister at the same time, but I'm scared to death to lift
the lever to open the canisters. Do you think I can not worry about
cleaning the sponges, as long as the water returning from the filters,
through the output tube in other words, is clean?

Thanks,
Ruth

started to swap out components to isolate the problem, and lifted out
the hose assembly from the canister and for some reason, water was
spraying out of the hoses all over my floor. I grabbed towels and
jammed the hoses back into the canister top and locked them down.

The last time I did something of the sort the spray went into the power
strip which then made a scary noise, so I tried to press the red button
to turn it off and I got shocked all the way up my arms. Pretty scary
business.
