Yikes. Glad nobody was hurt from that coupling flying off.
One time I was bringing home some 1/4" luan and the guys at the lumber store didn't secure it very well.. (they tied it to the luggage rack on the top of the Expedition). As I was driving 40mph the top sheet bent back and about 4' flew off. Fortunately the person behind me saw it flying up and slowed way down so it didn't hit them. I stopped, got out, and was able to fit the remains inside the vehicle.
Meanwhile, I found a video that refreshed my memory on how to dismantle the flush valve assembly and clean it.
The filter looked horrible. It had blue flakes of something that looked like plastic. Not sure WTF it was or how it got there.
You can see the sediment in the sink behind it-- fugly green sink....
I cleaned it up a bit and snapped a photo. I scrubbed it out with a toothbrush and removed the dirt from the curved pockets at the top but forgot to get a picture after I was done cleaning it. It wasn't pristine, but it was much better than it was before.
The good news is, the fix worked!
