Cut off the filter wrapping, grab your flat head screw driver, and take it apart!</p><p>Print this adapter, clip it into the original bottom filter piece, slide your A/C filter onto it, then put the filter cap on top.</p><p>You will no longer need to use their long skimmer that slid over the original filter anymore.</p><p><strong>Print Settings</strong></p><p>Support is not needed! I would use PETG or ABS as this print will be submerged 24/7 under water. I'd also recommend 100% infill to avoid any open voids possibly collecting water, accumulating bacteria, etc</p>
