How do you hook the air line to the filter? At the top connection? There appears to be no connection at the base of the filter.

Yes. Just hook it at the top, one tube inside reaches all the way to the bottom
1392583
the airline tubing connects on the small nozzle on the top of the filter, first attach the larger tube and insert the airline tubing in it. good luck they work great. tammy

Air line connects to the top. Works very well. I have two and they are great.

If I understand this correctly, there is a foot(weighted) with a special inner filter holder that includes a top piece with a hole for you to thread the air line through. Then you attach your airstone to your air line and pop the top piece into place. That is one way. You can also add an air tube that fits on top of the mechanism so you air line is stationed in one place. I use a power filter head on mine so don't use air hose.

The airline hooks in at the bottom of the tube, which you can remove if needed.

With tenacity and lots of pushing the air line at the top connector before the plastic tube is on but put the plastic tube on the air line before you connect

In the back near the bottom of the unit, is a little nozzle you unplug and the water comes out. You can connect it with a piece of silicon tubing. Or just bring a small container to catch the water, I still use it and it works fine. Not a bad air condition.

You hold the rod above the filter securely, then turn filter counter clockwise. ( viewing it from bottom) it should thread out.

Mike: silly question, but did you give the filter an extra push, plus push in the top rubber gasket some more to expose the thread? If this fails then the filter is too long. In that case I would be making an extended threaded mounting post. Or a special nut with a reduced diameter that will go inside the filter and catch the thread. My 10 gallon Craftsman has a 7/16 NC thread. I have the capability at home to manufacture these fixes, but if you do not I am at a loss for other solutions. Hoe about a recessed cup with a flange, then cut a bigger hole in the filter rubber and use a 7/16 nut inside the cup.

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.

You have to attach your own air pump and tubing to it. It is just the filter itself.

On the inside of the lid, there is a place for the filter. Open this up and install the filter.

I am not sure which it would hook up to. We use it in a sanding area with a large air filtration above it. Sorry

Suggest you install a manual clean out above the intake diverter. Look for the SlimLine downspout filter by Aquabarrel

Robert,you have the wrong filter-should have tabs at the top-filter order #AP1PKP-Oreck-Very difficult to find and expensive

have you had better luck with your filter? Just received mine, have hooked it up but can't get suction. Have primed it, filled the tank first, as mentioned in another post. Have not shortened the length of the tubing as yet. Any advice?

Unfortunately screw the top where you put the water in at and dump it . One of my main fitting broke the first time I used it :(.And the company won't back it up.

I took a piece of filter sponge and cut to fit for in front of the outflow. I was able to put it under the lip of the top cover and close it over the sponge. It really cut down on the flow. The filter also comes with a plastic curved piece that goes over the top to lessen the water flow. Also, the higher you have the water in the tank, the less the current. What size tank do you have?

Drop right in, who knows, however measure the diameter of the air inlet hose after your air box and then get a silicone adapter to go from that site to the outlet size on the filter housing. That's what I did for my jeep.

One of the parts that comes with the system is the "Quick Connect Fitting with Filter and Cap." The screen inside may need to be cleaned per the instruction manual. Other filters that you may have installed may also be restricting flow.

Yes, there is a coupling. It connects the return pipe to the filter top. Re-tighten it by hand only.

The plastic "filter" on the unit pops off, and there is a round fitting on the pump where you can attach a connector to a separate filter unit. That's how I set mine up.
