Description
Questions and Answers
A complete kit for replacing the Orings and Seals on the motors of all API & Rena Filstar series of canister filters. This includes the Filstar S (XP1), M (XP2), L (XP3) and XL (XP4). The kit includes 1 each of the Canister O-ring & Impeller Cover O-ring/Seal. This item replaces the original 720G Oring Repair kit which included a pair of Quick Disconnect Orings. To Replace these you will need to purchase a new
Quick Disconnect
which includes these Orings.
Tech Notes:
Fits all Rena and API Filstar Filters
Includes all user replaceable motor seals
Fixes many leaking and priming issues
IMPORTANT
The API and RENA Filstar Canister filter range has been discontinued by the manufacturer, Mars Fishcare. We still have a large selection of parts and should continue to have a supply for some time to come. Please continue reading below for tips on how to maintain your filter without new parts.
Gaskets/Seals
1: Coat the the orings and seals with Vaseline or other water based silicone lubricant. This will stop many leaks
2: Buy a new motor which gives you both a new Canister Oring and impeller cover oring, add a Quick Disconnect and you will be replacing all Orings. I advise this if your filter is no older than 5 years and/or you have multiple filters which you use to swap parts to make one good filter.
4: Buy a used filter off Ebay or other site and use parts from that unit to refurb your current filter.

Questions and Answers
Q:
will these o rings work on the API Nexx filter?
Asked by:
Danyle
- 2/25/2016
A:
Orings are not the same. Much thicker for the Nexx. Since the product has been discontinued the only way to fix the base is to replace it. We do have one or two bases left if you can't find suitable o-rings.
Item: 770A1
You might be able to find the O-rings at an industrial supply store although other customers have told me these were not standard.

My renafila keeps leaking. What should I do fix it?
Asked by:
Aida

Item 720G has all the seals. If your filter is more than 3-4 years old you may need to replace one or more seals.
possible leaking points:
cord entry into motor/seam in motor housing
replace quick disconnect or QD orings
between canister top and bottom of motor
replace canister oring

Q:
Hello I'm having great difficulty finding one o ring for my xp4 that has broken prematurely. I have 4 turtles; one uses this filter. It's the SMALL center O Ring in the center of the motor. Can you send one/two complimentary o rings for ALL my troubles? Thank you
Asked by:
Renea
- 6/22/2020
A:
The Oring you reference is actually a strip of sealing material with the two ends butted together. Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer, Mars Fishcare at 800-847-0659 or www.apifishcare.com. We have only item 720G with the complete set of seals and orings for sale.

Q:
Since the discontinuation of these lines of filters, no where else stocks these gaskets! That's too much to pay for the gaskets; triple the price! Would be nice if you still kept selling your replacement parts!
Asked by:
Anwaar

A:
Please contact the Manufacturer, Mars Fishcare about this issue. Our company, Rena Aquatic Supply is a distributor only of water and air pumps plus parts for Rena and API brand products.

Q:
Could you please tell me when you are getting more API Filstar XP-L orings?
Asked by:
kr
- 1/18/2021
A:
We have very limited stock and sell out as fast as we can get them in. Unless you have lost a seal or O-ring or damaged them in some way you can usually stop leaks by reconditioning the seals. Just use a water based silicone grease or Vaseline.
