Fix for Klir-4 Filter

[eggplantparrot]

Hi all, just want to share a 3D printed part to fix an issue I had with my Klir-4 filter.

I'm not sure if it was due to my setup, or a design flaw, but I saw the filter cloth blow out the sides of the large triangular cutouts, allowing the water to bypass the filter completely. When I lowered the sensor to lower the water pressure, this problem would dissipate, but then I'd run through an entire roll of filter cloth in a week, and the cloth was still mostly clean.

My design, which will need to be glued into the cutouts, provides support to the cloth so the water is forced to go through the cloth and not around it. Now my cloth comes out the other end dark and dirty, the way it's supposed to be.

I recommend printing these one at a time as there is a lot of retracting, this will minimize stringing and cleanup (you can place at least 4 on a 220x220 bed and use the print one at a time setting).

Nice! I see you have the same challenge in your sump with those tiny little white jerks that I do...

I don't really mind them, but it does look a bit out of control lol

Do you have instruction on how to install them ?

Just super glue, I used super thin but any should work, just take care not to get any glue on the inside (or sand it afterward). It's a permanent install but it has completely fixed my issues

I would like to get that for my di4. You interested in selling some?

I am having the same issue with my Klir 4, just installed the v2 yesterday and it sounds like a waterfall whenever it cycles new fleece through. I am going to print some off and hopefully it fixes my issue. I have tried lowering flow and increasing the water level in my sump. My water level is sitting up at the top row just as yours is. Cheers to you for making this if it fixes my problem!
