Try this. Open the filter up and manually fill it almost all the way up with water. Then close it back up. Try to plug it in and ensure that you have the valves in the open position.

Best way to do it is to fill the filter up with water before you put the pump assembly on the top. Then connect your hoses and close the output side valve. Then pump the primer button until you feel pressure on the primer. At that time your input hose should be full of water and ready to start pumping when plugged in. After it starts running and circulating water, tilt the canister assembly back and forth to help get the remaining air out of the system. Hope this helps.

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

Hi, it's your filter, no matter how clean it looks on the outside it gets pretty clogged internally. You can order three packs of filters on Amazon. You could always pull it out until they arrive. Rob

My theory is that your plastic filter is not lined up perfectly. If you screw it in too hard, you can see a space where liquid can escape. It's more on the side than the bottom.

I saw this tip on one of the reviews and it worked for me...put on rubber gloves, they will give you extra gripping power. Hold on to the top of the casing with one hand while twisting the filter with the other hand. Also twist it clockwise since it's upside down.

I haven't encountered this problem. The problem I have occasionally is, at some time after installation I find air has somehow gotten into the line and causes a terrible rattle and noise. I have been able to get rid of the problem by disconnecting and reinstalling the filters. Sorry this doesn't answer you question. Does it always happen? Maybe there is something floating around that blocks the flow when you open turn it on too fast.

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?

Who knows - dirt in the coil, contact oxidation. Sorry, can't help much. Actually you can try to contact Claber support. They were pretty responsive to my questions.

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 water will not circulate through the filter it there is no power. It stuts down every 12 hours for approximately 1 min to purge any air. This is automatic. However if the canister is set lower then the water in the tank it will fill with siphon once it starts. It is by far the best filter pump combo I have ever had and would highly recommend. I love it just plug it in and forget it.

I don't see a filter. So, I am afraid I can't help you. Although there is some sort of basket thing before the vapor comes out. Can't say if that's a filter or not but I don't see how it can be replaced.

Did you open up the bottom section to check the filter/wick? When I received mine the filter was wrapped in plastic, so needless to say it wasn't wicking the water. It ran all day without doing anything.

Turn the nut inside the filter canister (ccw). Mine is tight. The pump can be pulled down and out. Use a rag to plug the hole so you don't lose too much water.

Say goodbye. I think I fixed ours once, something to do with a thermostat or something and it died again soon thereafter. Dispose of it responsibly and head to Costco for another cooler. We found one that we can still use the Greenway filter system with, so it's the best of both worlds. A reliable cooler and we can filter our own tap water. Hope that helps.

I had a filter drier in a tight spot (in the form of a U shape between the compressor and condenser coil). Well I was able to cut it out with a tube cutter and place it back between the compressor and condenser by expanding the cut ends and sweating them back in the lines. It saved much time and effort from me removing the coil. And I was able to sweat the filter drier in perfectly while not in between the compressor and coil.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps
