Ocean Clear canister have an o-ring?

[fixed]

I have a new Ocean Clear 375 (uv+pleated filter) and the manual is pretty bad. It talks somewhere about an o-ring sealing the lid, but I find no o-ring. Is there supposed to be one? Thanks.

yes it goes on the body it self

Hmm. Did not come with one. Good thing I didn't hook it up, yet. Thanks.

I concur. I use one.

Now I'm confused. The company emailed me that it, the Model 375, at least, does not. The last thing I want, though, it to hook this thing up and start pumping water through it with no o-ring, if it needs one, and have water spewing all over my floor. Any suggestions?

WOW, I'm running one, don't know why they told you it doesn't have one on it. Right at the top where the lid screws on, do you see an indent just above the threads? The is where the o-ring goes. If it ain't there, you got me what the difference is betwen ours, or I should say, why they are different.....If you do see the indention, go to Lowes and try to match up the dia. on the canister. (which is 11" dia) so you'll need one slightly smaller.
