Has anyone on the planet tried to clean a filter by flowing water opposite from the way it works normally? So far everybody sprays only the outside.

Well, you can't really clean it from the inside out, but you can run a hose up and down the sides. I can usually clean out anything caught in the pleats that way.

If all you want to do is move water, as in a water fall you wouldn't need a filter. I have a filter on the out put end of my pump and it pushes the water right on through it, then one at the top of the falls and it still moves a very impressive amount of water. I don't see how you could put a filter in front of it, anyway. Take a look at the shape in the picture.

No. So far it has worked flawlessly. This is the first filter I've used. We'll see what happens in the future.

It has two settings. Filtered water and a regular stream Flow is good. Don't really understand what you mean Anti spray.

No- make sure the filter is in correctly. That caused problems with mine too!

I connected my filter unit to a non-sprayer faucet. I had other questions when I first bought my unit and connected directly with the manufacturer. Their information was accurate, complete, and thoughtful. My suggestion would be to hear what they have to say about your options.

I bought this. The water does not go through the filter. It bubbles around the side/rim of the filter to get to the bottom of the flask. I would like to talk to the manufacturer. You would think the water would have to go through the filter to do what needs to be done. A phone number please?

The filter works fine horizontally or vertically. I used it in a 2.5 gal tank with no problems. If you remove the spray bar, the filter takes up very little space

My experience says yes. We use the filter with a different nozzle that provides a better spray.

I don't. It seems to draw just fine and the main filter doesn't get clogged so easily.

Hi friend. Did you let the water run for 5 min after initial installation the fist time? It is in the correct position. Also make sure the filter is on the right position. If this keep happening then I believe that it is defective. I hope not.

This has happened to me a few times. I couldn't figure it out at first, but then I realized that it was getting a little clogged. I think I'm due to change the filter, but today when I was cleaning it, I blew into the black hole so that water came out the other end and made sure I the motor really well. Put it back together and the bubbles started coming back up through the top. Ashtyn is right too -- you have to really make sure the two pieces line up perfectly together.

Mine was barely moving when I first got it. I tried everything and then finally decided to clean the main filter. After I did that it started working great. Hope this helps.

My hose sprayer works when my diverter is not in use. Did your sprayer work before attaching the diverter? Perhaps the mechanism inside of the faucet, that diverts water to the hose sprayer, broke?? Maybe it is just coincidental that it happened after attaching the diverter?? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I don't know how you filter is set up but i had that problem when my waste valve was open----flushing to the sewer. If you close it half or three quarters of the way it's just fine

The water shouldn't shoot up at all, just cascade over the curved, green circular surface. And the filter should not float. Sounds like it's not assembled correctly.
