The can itself is a single unit: no separate compartments. The pump mechanism does its thing: pressurizes as you know. The filter underneath the spout funnels the water up and out. Be sure to always keep some water (a few inches) in the can so as not to dry up the inner filter elements. That's what I read from off the manufacturer's website. Be sure to clean before use also: there is an inner coating layer that should be rinsed out once prior to use. I've use mine for over 2 years now and still going strong. I just bought another one.
I would get a thicker gasket at hardware or online: it's not the diameter but the "thickness" or height of the gasket. The other thing I would examine are there any thread issues noted on close examination of the larger threads the spout cap is tightened onto?
I've had really poor water flow after changing out the filter twice and replacing the hose. Can't for the life of me figure out why. The can will even distend from pressure build up. Any idea?
@@littlewing230 my first thought is are you always keeping 2 inches or more of water in the Jerrycan. If not it will seize up. If filter seizes up and you pump more than usual then environmental heat can add expansion to the equation. Lifesaver has a test for the filter here on UA-cam-check it out. Might narrow down the issue.
@@littlewing230 another thought: did you rinse the Jerrycan when first purchased? Another is did the filters come in packaged foil? If not filters can age prematurely.
@@guyswhoknowstuff Thanks for the quick response. I rinsed the can, followed the filter priming instructions to a T, and always kept a few inches of water in the can so the filters don't dry out. Oh and the filter was packaged when purchased.
ive had mine for 3 years...just taken it out of the box for the first time because i needed a jerrycan for my campervan
Not one word on how to prime the filter and water must be left in the can when stored - important .
@@GlennRobert-ix6dj my assumption is most people FTFM!
Fantastic video! I've had mine since 2015. :)
Great to hear!
Hi, great video! Is there anything separating the water on the pumping side and the part of the can with the Ultrafine filter and tap?

Great video. As new LSJC users we are experiencing thet tap dribbles water even the can is stood up and depresserized... any suggestions?
Thanks!
