when this occurred for us, we used a little strip of packing tape across the seem. Not the most elegant solution, but it worked

Hopefully by now you have resolved this problem. I would have said take it out and shake it, use some air cleaner and give it a good blow. Mine is perfect...............

It should just snap off and on. I pulled off my cover with my fingers and I installed the new cover by just pushing the new one on and it snaps in place.

We did the same thing. When we replaced the cover it worked fine. Cover has to be replaced.

sounds like the threads are recessed into the filter so the nut can catch it. go to a hardware store and see if they sell a threaded extension ...if not notch the filter so that the nut fits.

I haven't had that happen, but my husband did. He just slipped it back on and squeezed it in place. It hasn't happened since. I'd contact the seller and have them replaced if they couldn't be fixed. Good luck!

Remove the cover and wash twice. Let air out w/o the cover on for a full 48 hours amd you should be good!

The filter is mine is tight enough to stay in place. I would suggest getting an inexpensive furnace/air conditioner filter, cut the filter material to form a pre- filter in front of the carbon filter. Make it long enough to loop over the top (and perhaps bottom). I did this but didn't have to loop it around, just taping it in place. In this way the expensive filters will last longer, since large size particles ( &gt; 5 Microns) are caught first.

Interesting. My filter unscrews quite easily. Perhaps give it a better tug. Good luck.

Hmmm... it's looks like a permanent friction fit. I tried to lightly pull it apart, but it doesn't seem to want to do that. If this thing popped open, you should probably try to glue it back together, unless it's still returnable. Note that the head unit is adjustable , as a sort of cheap ratchet. You will probably want to make sure that is still functional.

Return it. I didn't have that problem. In fact, the air should be cleaner when its running because of the filter.

First I thought I need a wrench removing the filter,its been 4months and when I tried to unscrew and remove the filter case I thought its tightly screwed but I just unscrewed with my hands without any aid of a wrench and successfully replaced the filter. be sure both of your hands and filter case are dry. Placing a rubber bands in the filter will help you avoid slips when unscrewing the filter case with your hands. hopes this help

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.

try putting a little faucet grease on the "o" ring and then push up and turn the cartridge to the right into it's locking position. I do this always it helps when removing the filter to replace it

Try pushing the prime button while the filter is running. It will help purge the excess air from the system. If it doesn't help, the company that makes the filter is really good about helping you fix any issues with the unit even if it means sending you a replacement. I had a problem with my filter leaking and they sent me another one right away. Since then I have had no issues with the filter.

I haven't had that issue - I can usually twist it out with my fingers and place the new filter in in no time. Maybe the filter housing (the thing that the filter sits in) needs to be changed or is defective.

Wrap a little bit of black electrical tape around the black plastic part in the dash, then press the knob back onto it over the tape. The knob won't pop off anymore!
