A bent, stuck, or broken pull rod leaves the drain valve inoperable — meaning you cannot clear sludge without disassembling the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRestore One-Pull Drain Function\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pull rod is designed for simple operation — one pull opens the valve, one push closes it. Over time, mineral deposits and biological growth can seize the rod in its sleeve, or impacts during maintenance can bend it.
