How is the water pressure coming through the filter?

Pressure is fine but overall quality is pure. This filter doesn't do much cleaning.

Water pressure is normal even with a low flow shower head. minimal resistance.

Pretty good.. cant really tell any difference from before. At least not in our apartment shower :)

I have weak pressure and was worried about it but I did not notice any change. I think this filter works great. I have to change my filter about every four months and it is tricky to get the cap off but otherwise I highly recommend this product.

Yes it is normal. I have the same system. Its the design of the system. The way it works the filters are never under pressure. The pros are you don't have to worry about water leaks. the con is its annoying that it takes time to shut off. The more pricier ones have a pressurized tank allowing better flow control or instant shut off.

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?

It is not that big of a deal at all. If you know how to shut the water off and bleed the system of pressure, it should be fairly simple. The toughest part is holding on to the filter housing because of how heavy it will be filled with the water. Just take it a step at a time.

When you have it on the filter setting yes .If the filter itself is properly set up, it is not greatly diminished when filtering. When the filter is not being used,it should be normal pressure.

Hello, glad to help. I would not buy this product again only because it hangs down too far and blocks area. Also After using it and looking at it, I can't figure out how it goes down to filter and then comes up, not sure I like that I want a clean through the filter and out the faucet. Am purchasing another one. Hope this helps

We have been using these for a long time and have two different filters in line.There has not been a significant drop in pressure, however, we have not put any pressure meters on our water lines.It does take out a lot of junk and we replace it about every 3-4 months

The filter that is exposed on the top. You may have some splash if the water level is too low!

The white filter goes on the outside . You should be sucking air through the filter and exhausting that filtered air.

I face the intake part out. I believe that way your not blocking the air from entering the filter.

Try blocking the intake and return at the pool. This should reduce the pressure in the system. There will still be a little pressure at the top of the filter head, but it will reduce in a few seconds if the intake and return are blocked. You can try a thin piece of rubber to block both ports.

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.

Not a problem with mine. It could be a clogged filter or to much pressure/flow from the supply. Replace the element and/or turn down the flow rate.

It's difficult for me compare. In our previous house water pressure was quite low and water flow from the filter faucet was slow. Now, I've decided to buy system with a booster pump to be on a safe side. I have no regrets. Even though water pressure looks higher.

Yes, water should come through the bottom of the filter and run out the top. You should prime the pump first by totally submerging it until you see the water circulating through and place the unit with the top above the water line. Make sure the pump is running. You should be able to hear it working.

Well we have used this for about a month and the water is still clear - have a few small fish in there too. There is an intake valve at bottom of fake wall - goes thru filter and then gently pours down - check out local pet stores they usually have one - but cheaper thru amazon
