i get overflow through the filter housing as well as through the tube. why?

If its while in operation and then it stops, I suppose its O.K. If it is steady all time, then you might have a problem with the setting and/or the solenoid.

Where is it leaking?Is the unit mounted square and level?Did you check to see if the drain tube is blocked?Is the water flow rate on to high?Are all connections tight?These are all things you should check.

Not a problem with mine. It could be a clogged filter or to much pressure/flow from the supply. Replace the element and/or turn down the flow rate.

What do you mean by overflow? The design of the unit is made to trickle water through the filter and out the drain tube. It keeps the filter wet so when air passes over it the vapor is released into the air.

I would say no, no such thing as over filtration. My only issue I could see is the water flow is high for the tank so you would need to adjust the flow rate but other then that it should work great.

My husband just dealt with this today. Apparently, somewhere in the back part of the filter there are some tiny holes in the plastic. They get clogged easily but it's essential they stay clear for it to work. He took a pipe cleaner and cleared them out. Now it runs fine again.

Perhaps you don't have a tight fit with the tubing you have. I haven't had any problems with mine. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

Did you changed filter cartridges? Make sure your water valve is open all the way!! If is a new install it takes a while to built pressure!! There a lot of air in the lines!! Disconnect tank from plastic hose and drain any water inside also disconnect all three filters and start precidure. Sometimes filter don't lock properly!!

it is possible the valve is no good or is not lined up to completely shut of the other valves while in the filter position. their should be no water coming from that valve also make sure your pressure valve on the left of that hole is closed.

I had the same problem. I went on the RDS website and they said to turn valve off, run main tank down below half and then open the valve again. Don't ask me why this would make a difference but I did it and the main tank refilled and did not overflow this time. Not sure why, but it works.

The filter has female one inch pipe thread. Your tubing looks to be too big. You could use reducers, but that would reduce flow. There are inline filters that are made specifically for irrigation, I think the culligan filter is overkill.

The unit is not designed to stop filtering when the bottom container is full. It will run over if you over fill it.

The pressure from your pump my be too strong. You don't want the water level to be higher than the filter pad . The water should be trickling out of the tube with the holes in it onto the filter pad. If the water is too high it will come out the airhole on the side of the filter. I hope this helps. Judy

The Biofilter works with gravity, the drainage tube must be clog so it's overflowing.

It is a prefilter....it slips over the intake tube... The intake tube is about five inches long and this slips over that... It works very well.

For tall tanks like yours, I would take the tube down to within three or four inches of the bottom if you can. This will give a better top to bottom turn over of the water. I agree that going to the bigger filter (#60) would be a good idea. It's hard to over filter a tank. If this will be the only system working, I would go to the #60 filter. If you are running an under gravel filter also, then the #40 will be fine.

Are you pressing the K cup down into the adapter cup so it gets punctured with the little pointy thing in bottom? Unless your adapter is defective & doesn't have it. I've not had any over flows!

It usually overflows when it's below the min line. You need to fill it above the min line and not above the max.

Are you sure you got all the air out of the lines and the filter? Might have to shake it a bit to get it all.

Hi Lev, I've never had that problem! You say that the water collects on top of the filter, which tells me that you may have the center piece upside down like a dome, you need to turn it over like a bowl so after it goes thru the ceramic filter it has time to go thru the 5 stage filter, also make sure that the nut on the bottom of the ceramic is tight!
