Our previous homeowner had the AP117 filter and we just replaced that with a new AP110 and our water is now a cloudy yellow color, what should we do?

The AP 117 has charcol in it, to clarifies, removes chlorine taste, and smell. It's a better filter but more costly.The Ap 110 it's a simple filter for dirt. You need to go back to the AP117.

I'd go back to the AP117 filter. It will remove more than the AP110 which is for dirt, rust and sediment.

I notice that the water bowl area is yellowing or I just lift the filter out and check it, usually about once a week. You'll know from the muck that builds up on the filter. I've found that if the water is left running, the water tends to warm and that helps in forming algae. I would suggest the filter to be changed around a month if the water is not running constantly. We have our fountain on a timer so that it does not run at night.

First of all, are your chems right? Do you ave the correct chlorine and PH levels; did you use an algecide? This is most important. If so, then dump more clarifier in. I usually dump at least double at opening if not more. If you're still having problems, double check that your filter is clean else take a water sample to the local pool store for more help.

Ours did the same thing. If you start googling reviews on it, you will see that this is a common problem. It is almost impossible to get rid of. The company says that it is because you live in an area with REALLY bad water. Therefor you need to change the filter every 1-2 weeks. A scam in my opinion.

I replaced the filter with no problem. When I did so there was an audible "click". The only suggestion I would make is check the filter to make sure it's the right one.

I had the same thing. It was dirty... Use white vinegar to clean the water reservoir and fan. Replug in, place in the reservoir tank filled. It should work. These need new filters about every three months because they filter alot of air, its amazing whats in our air..especially if you keep a window open... Hope this helps.

Hi, There is no "light." The green color slowly revolves to a yellow section, then the yellow revolves to brown. When the indicator turns to brown it's time to replace the filter.

My first question would be if you primed it according to the instructions that should have come with it (I think they're on the box)? If not, do so. If yes, something I've done to prolong the use of mine is to gently scrub the filters with a clean wet dish cloth. I'm assuming your filtering tap water, but if your filtering dirty water then flow can diminish quicker.

You should have had it unplugged when you put the filter in so then you have to reprogram. That should return it to normal.

Did filter quit working or light or both? If it light you can easily replace the light. If it filter i would call manufacturer. See about getting replacement

did just replaced the filter? there is a possibility that the housing that holds the filter is lose, try to tighten it , first unlosen the housing, it maybe misalign and not properly screwed in the base thats why there is a leaking, try to check also for any losen connection from the base where you connect the tube to the faucet, if you already done it and problem still persist probably there is a defect/faulty with the design, you can contact the manufaturer for support if still covered with warranty, hope this help

Dirty water? I had a large issue with hard water, it was coming out white and cloudy, but now it's completely clear.

Mine did this too. I bought a whole new one instead of filters. It's only a few bucks more and you dont have to mess with the filter even if its a little wasteful.

You really need to replace it. It will turn grey/black with dirt. As a maintenance factor you can rinse the removable filter that covers it but when it significantly changes color, you need a new one.

Hi Chris, I think it is not necessary to change filter if the water became clear. But I think it would be good idea to change at least one of filter cartridge if the water still cloudy.

Call the company and ask for them to repair it. They will charge you money, but it's worth it, because it covers shipping and when you receive your unit back, they insert a new filter. So consider the price to fix it, the price of a new filter. Actually, you never know. They may not charge you to fix it....email/call and find out!
