When I tried to use a metal clamp on the filter it had no effect securing the filter to the fan. How can I connect the fan to the filter?

It should fit right over. I agree w/ John. Put weather stripping for a good seal.

The most secure way to attach the pop filter that I have found takes about 1-2 minutes. Cut 3/4" of a dowel that fits in the "V" groove of the included clamp. Stand the little piece of dowel on end. Split it in half with a chisel or screwdriver. Put the rounded side against the "V" and the flat side against rear part of the microphone stand. Clamp it down. It's solid.

I used my hands to take my factory aerator off but might need pliers, and I put Teflon tape on threads and hand tightened the filter on. I haven't had any leaks besides swiveling the filter so much it unscrewed it a little but it quit with a quarter turn!

I don't know if this helps, but , did you put the filter cup in properly? The only way I know for it to get stuck is if the handle of the filter cup and the orientation of the cup is wrong....I'm afraid that the only way to get it out is to pull until something gives.......wish I could help more

you are correct--it should only empty into a sink-my guess for that is that the filter could potentially come off and get stuck in the pipe! ?? I use a metal clamp that has to be screwed on to tighten down . It works very well.

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.

I've used these filters for at least 10 years. Never had a problem from the plastic clamps. I do give them one last squeeze with a pair of pliers when assembling. Don't be Hercules though! LOL

Tim, the filter is real thick, but you can push it down enough to force the plastic piece with the "catches" to close enough to hold the metal filter in place. As an alternative you might be able to get some fine sandpaper in there and sand down the plastic for a little more clearance... Personally, I went back to paper because I found the metal filter just too much hassle. I'll keep it in case I run out of paper filters. RON.

When I had my filter replaced with the same model filter, I used the multiport valve from my old filter and it worked perfectly. The old valve fit the new filter with no problem.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

I changed the clamps and used stainless steel clamps on all 4 ends of tubing that screw on with lock nut or screwdriver. I was having air in the filter and once i put these on no more air and runs silent.

Hi, you remove the little black plastic clip in the screw on top and put a new filter in there and replace the plastic clip. Hope that helps.

Whatever place you put it, be sure it is secure. It should also complement air flow for dust collection and heat or ac sources? My concern is also access to changing the filters as they clog? It's an odd size filter. I'm considering making a pre filter frame to use cheaper filters from the box store. Good luck, be safe!

just received this item, i put the female and male end to it so that way i can unhook it from the compressor when need be, i didn't get the filter but you should be able to put the ends on the filter and hook that up first to the compressor and then hook the regulater to the filter.

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

The filter comes with two methods to use your filter: 1) adhesive tape to adhere the filter to your screen; 2) tabs that adhere to the frame around the screen. I use the tabs. They allow me to slide the filter behind the tabs to install, then remove it when it is not needed. When the filter is installed with the tabs, it remains secured, even with opening and closing.

This is difficult to answer. First, is this a new unit that has just been put in service? If so, during the setup procedure did you remove the upper housing and insure the filters were not wrapped with a protective cover? Is, then I suggest that you select each of the 3 different fan speeds and see if the air flow changes. If not it may be a defective control unit. In any case, if you can not determine what may cause the problem and this is a new unit I would call the manufacture and explain the problem to them.
