Does one need to flush this filter before use?

I did not flush the filter. I just throw four full glasses before using it for me.

Yes. A filter is unnecessary. However, depending on whether your water source is full of minerals or organics, you might want to add a filter. I added a filter.

You should be all right. There's a gauge on the system that tells you if the pressure is good enough. The Better the pressure the more efficient the filter is

Yes,... I've fill the onboard reserve tank using a hose and filter. You need to flush out the filter first beforehand though.

Yes. There is one small wire filter that needs to be flushed. Once we rinse before placing items in the DW there has never been anything I'm the screen.

CharlesouTou are welcome. This has been a great filter. I have had it running continuously (other than cleaning) for more than 7 years with no problems.Mark

Clean the filter after each use, or when the Neato tells you to. As for replacing the filter, I purchased a set of spares and rotate the use of them, allowing me to always have a clean, dry filter in case my little "dumbot" fills up before finishing the job.

Ours cleaned up right away but we flushed our water heater, house lines and the pressure pump before we started running water through our filters. We have been running it for a while now and occasionally get some red to our water but that is when we find debris in the filter system.

No, double check that you ordered the correct filter and that it is installed correctly.

There is a cartridge filter that you take out and use a hose to clean it. The filter works great and well worth the cost.

This message will appear when the clean side solution runs low (or empty) and the dirty side tank is full. Check the tanks by lifting the little rubber tabs marked 'dirty' and 'clean' on top of the unit. You must empty the dirty water before you can continue. I always rinse the (dirty) tank and the filter well before I either 1) refill the clean side and continue cleaning, or 2) clean my Scooba 's tanks and filter, and place on charge for the next job.

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

Yes, the filter needs to be before the heater s o you keep contaminates out of it

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

Initially the filter was slow. Now it can filter the upper container in 12 hours. It was just the first time was slow. I would assume it needed to be saturated. I believe the instructions stated to soak the filter first before using.

You should only need to change the water when you change the "filter" (really, it's a detergent cartridge). Make sure you rinse out the tank several times; it gets a nice coating of stubble gunk.

No, the dirt is supposed to be tapped out of the filter into the garbage. To quote the owner's manual it states (in capital letters) "DO NOT RINSE OR WASH THE FILTER MADE WITH HEPA MEDIA".
