Do I need to get anything else to make this filter work? air pump? etc?

Yes, you will need an air pump. My tank is 10 gallon and I bought a bigger pump to get more air flow and a dual check valve splitter from Walmart to control the air. You can see my review under my id retho78.

All you need is an air pump, a "tee" to separate the air line into two, air stones for the end of the tubes to dissipate the air and off you go!

Not sure but maybe you need an additional air cleaner? Mine is fairly new and I am thrilled with it, and am considering getting another one for the other end of my place.

No air pump included. You probably don't really need one, though, since the included hang-on-back filter causes plenty of surface agitation to aerate the water.

Pump has to be primed, sometimes multiple times depending on length of intake hose. Air in the intake line will "unprime" it and you will need to prime it until all air is out, then should pump fine.

i would check for a vacuum leak on the intake side before changing or adding a pump, if it works good some time, it sounds like a air leak .Lost of luck

Wish I could help, I have a different system. Have you googled replacement parts for your filter?

The filter should just lift straight up . Pull on the to corners of the filter, if no luck push up on the filter from the bottom while lifting at the top... probably just stuck. Play with it a little should come out easy. I had 2 filters w mine so worst case pull it out use the second filter after u locate the problem...

I picked up a cheap one at wal mart , you will need one that has a few different ends . Due to fact most air valves are different.

YOu would have to remove your original airbox, if this is not an option for you then you would want to go with just a regular drop in filter. These cone filters are for aftermarket intakes or air boxes that have been modified.

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!

Make sure when you put the new filter in, you can see the 200 through the top little window, then you know you put it in correctly. Then, it should screw on.

Check your rubber seal and make sure it fits properly. There should be no leaks, turned on or off. Maybe have a bad unit, or just a bad seal. Mine has worked fine, but I use mine for polishing and not for the main filter.

Your pump and the rest of the filter system needs a good cleaning. Take everything apart and clean it and it will work again. You can find a cleaning kit of brushes the right size for all the openings here on Amazon. Also, you need to be replacing the charcoal filters as needed.

Once it's primed properly, water will start flowing immediately. If there's any air at all in the top of the filter assembly where the pump is, it will not pump, or there will be tons of air bubbles. It helps to rock the filter from side to side a little to help get the air out also. Hope this helps. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

I do not know. My daughter set up my filter. I can tell you that after one summer, the vacuum system is not working. Contact the pump dealer to ask your questions. That is what my daughter did. I'm not happy with the system right now.

I recommend you clean out the entire filter system, wash out the dirt , etc and place everything back in, and fill it with water before turning it on. Also check you hoses and make sure the top is lined up with the filter trays inside.
