My new filter block. Water not filter through even overnight. Any solution please?

Hi George:The design flaw of the filter causes this problem: all u need to do is use a clean blunt object, like the handle of a butter knife, tap the top of the filter until all the bubbles come out. You may need to do this every time you add water to the top. If you have the double filter (large) model, tap bot filters. It removes the bubbles that are causing a vapor lock situation, and water flows normally again.

Sounds like the pump. There is a fly wheel [you can see this through the top [a round hole] that may be stuck. Try forcing water or a burst of air through it. Some times all it needs is pulling the filters up and down to get it started.

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!!

Seems like a filter issue. Needless to say you've checked that water is flowing and that the filter is sitting correctly all the way in the base in the pool of water, right? Many after market filters don't fit well and you really have to stretch and really push them into the base.

The filter should have the black plastic grid on BOTH front & back sides of the foam, which should prevent the situation you describe. Good luck, and return it if truly defective.

I have NOT had that problem, I'd say it is your water. Fill a bottle, let it stand 24 hrs and check for sediment in the bottom of the bottle, this may tell you it is your water, not everything can be filtered out.

Unscrew and clean out the spray 'head' above the fillter container; it might have become clogged over time. Or request new spray head from the company; we got a free one that slows down the water coming into the filter and keeps it from overflowing.

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.

Mine isn't doing this. I would use some very diluted bleach and clean it very well and replace the filter. Search for the dilution you'll need on the bleach and water for cleaning.

I haven't experienced this problem yet...be sure to rinse the filter as instructed prior to placing it in place; and be sure you haven't installed it backwards...not much help--I know, but all I can think of.

I had that problem. There is a filter in line. Cleaned it and the flow was fine again.

I only know this filter works for me. You could try it and if it doesn't work, see if you can return it.

Have you rechecked the "in" & "out" ports, or is there a packing plug? I'd remove the filter again, and blow thru the ports to see if that is where the ressistance is- ie: the filter or the Moeller top assembly. Let me know, Jim

I just went through this issue as well, with the New and Improved filters...as Special Etc mentioned, it was because I hadn't pushed down on the filter enough to create a seal. I could actually see water leaking out the bottom, in addition to it pouring out the 4 holes. After pulling it out, re-inserting it and pushing it down hard, it sat much better and the filtering was back to normal again.

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.

Make absolutely certain you don't have two filters. Sometimes they stick together. I wet my finger a little before trying to separate them. If the filter feels like it's thicker, you probably have two filters stuck together. At least, that is what I found the problem to be when mine did that. They also have a little device made for picked up only one filter at a time. Not sure where to get one, but they work well too.

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.
