Picked up a System 1 diatom filter.

After the 4th or 5th use, the seal between the jar and jar ring is leaking -- anyone run into this before?

The instructions say to apply a little vaseline on the edge of the jar lip to prolong the life of the seal. I'm not too sure if this will make a better seal or not, but i just picked some up anyway to try. Is there any other type of product out there to make a better seal?

I use silicone grease. Its a little thicker than vaseline type products and does not wash away.

Agreed, silicone grease.
