Does anyone know how to keep the filter in place? Mine keeps floating out of the slot.

Seems to be a matter of pushing it in until it clicks and then filling with water. I have not had a problem. Can't separate the white container from the clear base to clean though.

Vivian, like C. Rothwell said, make sure it's seated well into place. Sometimes you will hear it "click" and sometimes you won't. There is a series of slots on the filter, if I remember correctly, there are two short ones and a long one. Make sure you line the long slot towards the back of the filter. Push down, but not too hard, until the widest part of the filter top is just below the rim of the tray. I hope that makes sense.

Next time improvise a filter in front of it, like a cloth or some screen on it so it won't get dirt, and you just need to clean the filter you had place. :)

try putting a little faucet grease on the "o" ring and then push up and turn the cartridge to the right into it's locking position. I do this always it helps when removing the filter to replace it

Hopefully there is no sand in your filter, that would mean it broke! There should be a screw to anchor it down with on the outside of your filter.

have you had better luck with your filter? Just received mine, have hooked it up but can't get suction. Have primed it, filled the tank first, as mentioned in another post. Have not shortened the length of the tubing as yet. Any advice?

Mine will always do this on the first couple of swigs, but then it usually stops. When mine wont stop doing it then my filter is usually loose. Try taking it apart and putting it back together again ensuring that the filter is tight. I hope this helps.

My vents are made of plastic and the the part that controls the air flow can be unsnapped. I remove the air flow control part and place the filter sheet in the main vent and then snap the air control part back in. That keeps the filter in place. At least that works for me.

Return it. I didn't have that problem. In fact, the air should be cleaner when its running because of the filter.

sounds like the threads are recessed into the filter so the nut can catch it. go to a hardware store and see if they sell a threaded extension ...if not notch the filter so that the nut fits.

The top lid pops off from the bottom part holding the filter -- ours was so loose it kept falling out -- so we had to bend it out a little to hold in the filter. Just use a screwdriver or something -- should come right out. Hope this helps.

I don't know if this helps, but , did you put the filter cup in properly? The only way I know for it to get stuck is if the handle of the filter cup and the orientation of the cup is wrong....I'm afraid that the only way to get it out is to pull until something gives.......wish I could help more

it gets air traped inside. Common issue with filters and more so with Zwater. Tapping the filter on top untill the air bubbles go away should get it going again.

Sorry, I can't help with this. I returned the item due to poor performance and didn't have it long enough to have to clean the filter. Good luck.

Hello. You just need to hold down the filter button until it resets. That should work!

Remove the filler tank and locate the filter at the bottom of the rubber tube. You should be able to easily pull it off. It not, just take some scissors and clip it off as close to the filter as possible. Hope this helps you. Mine is still working fine and does what it is supposed to do.
