I've noticed some people reversing it -- any downside of doing it?

Reversing it does NOT increase its useful life in terms of removing chlorine! Reversing it is only done if/when needed to flush out sediment that has built up and slowed the water flow. After any sediment has flushed out you can continue to use it in the reversed position but if you use it past about 10,000 total gallons - it will not be absorbing/filtering/removing the chlorine from your water - which is the reason we all bought it.

When I had my apartment complex's maintenance man install it, the first time he did it, he installed it upside down and nothing came out...no water, nothing.

I have reversed mine with no ill effects or complaints (from my wife, who likes this filter and says her skin is better because of it). Culligan says you can reverse the filter and keep using it.

I had no problem with that. I believe it goes in one way if you have trouble flip it around. I put two of these in and don't remember it being a big deal.

The reason it works is the way it prevents pulling because of the fit. So, no you don't switch back.

No it is not reversible. I wish it was cause I use both eyes depending on the situation and one eye is slightly stronger than the other. It also makes it hard when taking vertical shots.

It depends. I'm a lefty so I'm used to things being backwards. I really like using my left thumb on the spool and winding with my right. I know righties that do the same thing. I say let your thumb decide.

No, it has different settings with reverse. Well built and easy to assemble.

No it can't be reversed. You would have to use this with a reversing monitor to do what you want. This is a very basic camera.

Yes, but if you ever want to go back to the earlier version you won't be able to reverse the process. I hope that helps.

I am (very much) guessing it does go in reverse otherwise I think it would be rather useless.Just my $0.02 worth...Toddamazon@ecafa.com

Yes, I had no issue with getting back to the starting position by myself. Make sure you read all the safety guides, especially about the amount of time you are upside down. There is an adjustable strap that can limit the inversion distance.

We have put on our son backwards for the same reason. If you do it just right it works great.

Yes,you can pedal backwards. There's also resistance as you pedal backwards

Interesting question. So I tried it & I was able to mount it backwards. Yes you can.

I don't think that the flipping actually has a real benefit. It really only flips over to lock as far as I know. It has heating elements on both sides so I don't think, other than locking the iron, flipping it does anything

I'm able to hold mine back up. I just twist it a little and it pretty much goes back the way it was.

Yes, it does flip around. I haven't used it in that manner so the concerns that the other users have voiced probably would apply, if that's the way you plan to use it most of the time.

Hi Lawrence, I've recently been having problems with that as well. If I accidentally hit 'reverse' before switching to 'on', it sometimes gets stuck going the wrong direction. When it happens, I usually have to toggle the switch back and forth a few times before it changes to the right direction. Looks like I need to change my review on it.
