Re prime your lines. I had This happen as well. Also make sure your ring look good. It is cheap to replace.

First make sure everything is latched correctly. Then tilt it from side to side. That should get her air out. Hope this helps.

Best thing is to unplug the filter. Then prime it by removing the cap on the intake tube, pour water until it fills up. Tightly secure the cap then run. If that doesn't work, then while it's running unsnap one of the 4 tabs and lightly lift up, that'll usually purge the air. If no go on those. Remove your hoses and check them for air leaks. I actually used Vaseline on each hose connection and on the main seal around the pump head. That all finally worked for me.

There are several great short videos on youtube on starting and maintaining this filter.....I have followed their advice and have never had air issues....takes me about 10 minutes to tear down, clean and restart the filter

It sounds like there is no suction. You may need to clean or replace the filters. That was my experience.

on the filter there is a screw its called the vacuum release valve loosen it till water starts flowing out and then tighten that well release the air out of the filter tank. if you received a book with your pump and filter look in it and it is number 36. did you full the tank with half of sand then add water and the rest of the sand that has to be also. hope this helped you..

The only thing I can think of is that you my be using too much coffee or the holes in the bottom of the filter might be some how obstructed or not properly made at the factory. There is a good instructional video on you tube that I recommend watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DwPGkq8SFE There might me something helpful to you in the video. This is how I learned to do it.

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.

There is not enough air flow across the filter. If it can not go through the filter it creates a higher than normal pressure on the inside of the filter. This higher pressure is greater than the latch holding force and pops off. Our vacuum did this after washing the filters. There was still to much moisture on the elements stopping the air from passing through. I blew it out with my air compressor and it fixed the problem.

Try sucking the air our before you close it that way it's a tight fit and if that dosent work try adding some foam around it.

I have not had this issue with these filters. Is it possible the filter slipped out of the slot holding it. I have had no problems with the filter, been using them about 2 months and I am getting ready to replace it with a new filter

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.

Have you soaked it in cold water for 15 minutes and then scrub it ? Thats what the directions say. Also I know there are some phony filters out there. Where did you get it ? You need to call the filter company if you have tried soaking it etc and they can send you a good one. Hope this helps you.

I haven't had this problem but there is a small rubber plate at the bottom of the unit - if you unscrew it, there might be a clog in there. Also, replace the filters which might be dirty. I'm probably stating the obvious but also make sure the hand held nozzle is secure in the side. Hope that helped a bit. I've had my vaccum for 3 years now and haven't had any problems.

Check the O-ring. Also watch for cracks in the "U" tube along the seam as it will suck air and cause the GPH to go way down. Mine started to suck air along the seam shortly after getting it. I contacted AquaClear and they wanted me to purchase a new one even though it was less than 3 months old and still under warranty. Terrible customer support. I avoid AquaClear (and all Hagen) products like the plague now. Both my 30 and 70 models have the same issue and now sit in the very box they came in.... sadly I purchased nearly $200 in filter supplies/media for these as well. I just cut the stuff open and use it in my new filters. Return it if you can.

The air filter is on the top. If you are getting a clean the filter error code and the filter looks clean then yo might have the same problem I and many other owners of this product have had.

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

Try using some silicone grease on gasket and edges of canister filter this should help.
