After testing with water so nothing passes threw, is the water suppsed to remain in? so all the fuel transfers threw and not left below the filter?

Yep the water stays on top. This is good and bad because then you have to pour it off. Overall a great product

Hi Shawn,Yes. If water gets in to fuel you just run the mixture through the funnel. What comes out (into a suitable, dry container) will be fuel. Any water that was in the fuel will remain in the funnel. Just dump that into a container for proper disposal, wipe the funnel dry and you're done. You've given your gasoline new life! Janette

On the head of the unit where the air enters there are gaps over where the head attaches to the body of the snorkel. these gaps allow the water to flow down the walls of the head and exit. Yes there may be some water but not much that gets into your airbox. I have driven in heavy down pours with no issues. If you dont want to take a chance then you can always turn the head backwards and not worry at all. Your choice.Hope this helps.Danny

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.

I have not had that problem, check that your hoses are in the correct position in and out, also make sure that the filter is filled with water.

make sure the intake is clear. mine gets algae and 'junk' in it and it need cleaning regularly.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

You might want to check the pump for any kind of blockage,it does not come rushing our with any kind of pressure.I thought there would be more pressure coming out after I installed mine as compared to other filters I have had in the past...that is not the case with this filter/pump set up.

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.

The directions do not indicate soaking. I have installed several filters and never soaked one. Filters performed well.

I that happened to me.. basically you over filled it and the pressure pushed the top tank up.... fill up to the top of filter, or just below. It's good to go

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 haven't had this issue so I'm not 100% sure. But my understanding is that the water path runs through the pump and the brine shouldn't run without going through it. Did you change anything with the tubing when the tank was emptied? Did the pump ever work correctly?

Although my filter hasn't leaked around the rim (the top), it has leaked out of the Venturi Inlet attachment two times. Once was because the pump was too powerful, so I adjusted the flow. The other time was because too much string algae was blocking the holes on the inside, so I cleaned out the filter pads and hosing. I've found that when everything is working right (having the right flow and being cleaned out) that the water level doesn't go that high inside the filter. It should come in through the spray bar, and then the water level shouldn't rise above the spray bar. I hope this helps. : )

I tested mine out with fresh water then blew it out and put it in my bug out bag. It has been in there for around a year, I just took it out to put some more fresh water through it and it is completely clogged, Nothing being drawn through, then I blew through it and nothing came out, I poured some fresh water into it from the end and let it trickle through it. That loosened it up and I was able to suck fresh water through it.Now I am not so sure I trust it to filter water.

Yes...It seems the biggest failure is due to driving into large amounts of water that finds it's way into to the filter and then into the switch. If possible move the filter higher up in the transmission tunnel.

I get very little waste water through my system..Just once in a while the holding tank will have a little overflow, but not too often. Overall this is a very efficient system..

I don't recall anything affecting the water. I've had it out in the summer in the high Sierras, and also kept one in the trunk of my car for a long time. If it does, it might be the first time out. So, if you are sensitive, fill it up and leave it in the sunshine for a day, dump it out and try again?
