Press the Mesh into the distribution groove with an aid of a short piece of 1/8” (3-mm) Tygon or Silicon tubing (not supplied) while the
Square O-ring is pressed into the O-ring groove. The tubing helps to prevent over-stretching of the Mesh by the O-ring.

Similarly, press down the O-ring over mesh at the opposite corner of the Lid, and then at about 90 degrees. Subsequently, work in the
O-ring throughout the entire Lid perimeter. Make sure that the Mesh is securely set under the O-ring throughout the perimeter as well
as under the Central Mesh Screw.

NOTES:
The installed mesh does not have to be wrinkle-free for all practical purposes.
Replacement mesh and the O-rings can be ordered from Essential Life Solutions. However in emergency situations, Nylon
mesh of any opening size can be acquired from any of many vendors and can be cut in-house to fit to the outer diameter of the
O-ring groove on the Lid.
Similarly, use a slot on the column Stand to flat-cut a new O-ring from the 1/4”square cord stock. Glue the ends of the cord
flush together in the same slot with Loctite® or any “Super” glue.
