can the underground filter and centre tube be removed completely???

Yes, I changed the filter and tubing out and replaced it with a filter that sticks to the side.

Yep, that's what I did. The filter tube took up too much of the tank for me. I removed the entire filter assembly (the below-gravel part, the middle tube) and just use a small side-mounted filter, which is more than sufficient.

No, there isnt a modification that I know of unless you design your own, but I havent seen any fine debris escaping. Sometimes the water seems to get cloudy while using, but honestly I think its tiny air bubbles as they disappear within seconds of turning the unit off. The filter chamber has very fine mesh fabric covering it. Very fine.

It's a complete unit with the filtration elements/media inside. You insert the entire filter cartridge (as you see in the product image) into your filter housing, replacing the existing one. There's nothing in this unit to remove or disassemble. When it's time for a new one, you throw the whole cartridge away. I've used many of these and liked them, but have replaced mine with a nano filter for higher flow rate bit.ly/1m5kjUR (ideally, I'd use both)

Remove the filler tank and locate the filter at the bottom of the rubber tube. You should be able to easily pull it off. It not, just take some scissors and clip it off as close to the filter as possible. Hope this helps you. Mine is still working fine and does what it is supposed to do.

I'm not sure man it's pointless for me I don't need it I have it put up collecting dust. I bought a 3 prong filter remover for hard to reach places

Yes, you can use the filter without the lights. They have independent plugs. The lights are part of the air-stone and if you don't want to use the air-stone either, you just don't attach the tube splitter to the air tube. The air splitter also has valve control, so you can turn the air-stone on and off, and you can adjust the air pressure on the filter to balance. You should be able to customize it however you like with minimal effort.

We changed ours recently, but never really looked that close. The prefilter will be the dirtiest for sure, since air flows thru there first. The IQAir said it was time to change it so we did.

No. All it is is a 17mm nut welded to the base of the filter to facilitate removal.

I haven't done it but I'd say no. I think the filter would get completely clogged.

Never tried to remove them. I have tons of heavy files hanging in these vaults. Sorry, I haven't a clue.

No - you really have to line up the tube on the filter with the top tube. They slide together. It was kind of a pain sometimes.

I am not sure you would have to especially if you install a filter before it however if you don't they sell replacement tubes.I would think if it is that dirty a filter would be my first concern.

You just change the removable filters from the wand and the one that connects to the tube. Nothing to clean internally. The heads get cleaned with rubbing alcohol.

The top part of the unit that screws onto the shower pipe can be detached from the filter cartridge but the top part is what cracked. On the unit we had, the cartridge filter (lower part) can be replaced, but we just threw the whole thing away.

The filter is located on the right side, near the front. Just pull it out and clean it.

If you are talking about the O ring that is in the fixture, you may have to use a jewelry or optical screw driver to remove the O ring. As it relates to the filter itself, there are no consumer repairs possible, and a new filter has to be used.
