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.

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 have this same problem. Also, my steamer got clogged and I can't seem to get it unclogged. Does yours spew steam from like, below where the filter sits when you turn it off from steam? I think there's something wrong...

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.

That happened to me once. The cause was a faulty new filter. I returned the filter for replacement. That solved the problem. If your filter has been used for awhile, try replacing it. I would also suggest you replace

My surmise goes like this; I put the foam side against the air flow .It seems to work I guessed that the fabric side is to stop the dust from coming out of the foam. Robert Caalhoon

I have this up and running and have never seen what you are speaking of tho maybe it might help if you could say where the bubbles are at. Where them seem to be coming from. Might be able to help if I had abit more info. Had fish tanks for over 30 years and seen alot of different things with different filters.

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

Did you give it a little time to saturate the filter? Unless you did something putting the new filter on, which I am not sure what that could be. Giving the filter time to fill is all I can think of. Good luck.

I had the same exact issue! What we did, was cut the actual mesh cover on the tank to allow the filter and wire to run through, and cut around the actual piece itself. We neatly cut around it with pliers.

Good news I tried something I took mine and rinsed it a few times under warm water then washed the whole thing in warm soapy water now it's nice and clean and good to go, it's all dry now so washing didn't ruin it. I couldn't get the filter out of mine either my friend has one same thing

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."

You attach the filter to the heater. The connection on the heater should swing out.

I don't really know. I would assume the foam filter also stops fine debris from going through (like dry wall dust and such) too.

If there is a noise, it most likely is the filter mechanism itself is clogged. If you remove the box type thing under the filtering system itself, it most likely is full of yuckety yuck. When you clean this out it will probably be OK. If not it may need replacing. ciao!

Sorry but I can't help with this. I have a spa. I just removed the filter and poured it directly into the intake with the pump running.
