I bought the filter 3 days ago.
I can't make it stop expelling air since I turned it on last Friday. I've checked the intake and the plastic tube connection is underwater. Part of the outlet is above the water but it shouldn't be sucking air from there.
So what's wrong with this overhyped filter, apart from being a pain already?
What could be causing it to suck in air?
When I was tilting it to try to get the air out, it did release a drop of water from one of side clamps. Maybe its not making a proper seal?
Also, there is one bubble of air in the intake hose just where it meets the plastic intake. It won't go away. It doesn't move down, it just stays there. So obviously this filter can't prime itself...
