Emperor 400 Power Filter Question

[jmeunier]

I accidentally broke one of the gray circular plastic clips that somewhat holds the spray bar in place on my Emperor 400. Even without it, the spray bar stays in place quite firmly, and everything works just fine. Should I worry about replacing it, or will everything stay together without it. I'm mainly worried about the spray bar backing itself out due to vibration, but it seems like even with the clip in place, it doesn't add too much in the way of stopping movement.

Thoughts?

Thanks;
Jay

I did this about 6 months ago on one of mine. Just ignored it and haven't had any problems. The spray bars are rather secure even without the clips.
