Why is my new squeze ball not firming up using the filter.When I blow in the filter there is lots of resistence

Check to be sure you have all your hoses going in and out of the right places on the filter, that nothing is reversed. Have you verified that your primer bulb works? They sometimes go bad, especially the Walmart cheapos. Do you have your bulb before or after the filter? I have mine after. Even still, the bulbs are a pain to firm up sometimes. I've sometimes gotten my bulb to firm by just running the boat. The fuel system can create a suction and get the fuel moving.

Your tank is empty - you haven't pumped it enough - line is sucking air at or before the bulb

Perhaps you have the hoses connected to the wrong inlet/outlet ??? Just my two cents ;)

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

Make sure your gas tank vent is open.The filter has four connections, make sure you're flowing (in/out) the gas in the right direction to your motor.Try it without the filter element in it.How low is the filter from the motor connection?Is the squeeze ball on backwards? Check arrows on ball.Could it be that the filter is dirty?Mine is working like it should, I'm on the second season with it.Maybe I have a 30gal through put total, not much. It's on a 2006 9.9M 4s.J

I had the same problem, the bottom of the filter where the drain is , not tight enough, I had a hard time to tight it self the glass part and also the water drain screw, make sure you do not over tight, could break easy, at least that was the trouble with mine, hopefully that is with yours, I will not buy this type of filter again

Yes I had a similar issue when I changed the filter. Call the sevice and they will help you.

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.

Hi Nancela, After the first fill, you'll need to occasionally add air to the ball. Once you settle on a good PSI you should use the gauge to test if it's where you like it and maintain that setting.

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.

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.

If it's grinding then it may have sucked in some sand/gravel, lift the top while running the filter by pulling on the flow adjustment tab, a piece of sand or gravel may come out, then gently set the lid attachment back into place. this may resolve the issue. If that doesn't help try rinsing the filter out and make sure the little impeller rotor isn't bent or broken.

Same thing happened to me with the filter collapsing--I plan to check status of filter every so often and apply glue if needed. I believe the glue dries out prematurely.

Yes, I've started having problems with mine after 7 months. I thought it may be the filter but they said not. They sent me three parts I have to try to replace and see if that works. It seems like the don't want to give out new filters. My suction is fine for about 5 minutes and you can see the diffence. There are no clogs but the motor overheats and shuts down. I'll see what the parts do but I don't thing they are the problem.

check out this informative video on how sand filters workhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_J5KgIqhD4one thing could be that you're backwashing too often and not adequately running the 'rinse' mode after backwashing.. this will put dirt in the pool..

I got mine on ebay and also got a smaller ball. I'm hoping the answers are correct and it will stretch out. I know the ball I already had seems a lot thinner than this one. So maybe that's why.

My husband just dealt with this today. Apparently, somewhere in the back part of the filter there are some tiny holes in the plastic. They get clogged easily but it's essential they stay clear for it to work. He took a pipe cleaner and cleared them out. Now it runs fine again.

Maybe you put too much water. You need to fill the upper part until the word H2O and stir this water in the bottom part. Put enough coffee to fill the filter and dont push it

I have had a couple of probs w the filter. It usually appears the cartridge is installed well, but it turns out it's not pressed in correctly or well enough. I wish I could diagnose your prob, but without seeing it, it's difficult.

Mine did this too. I bought a whole new one instead of filters. It's only a few bucks more and you dont have to mess with the filter even if its a little wasteful.

Check both filters. Maybe they are dirty. Might be a partial clog inside System somewhere. Check for partial clog where the bag is connected.

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.
