Does anybody have experience with these things? I cant get mine to fill up, the directions say to pump the button 4 times then waite 60 seconds. But it still doesnt fill up.
Anybody who knows anything about these please let me know.

i do it with pretty much every filter!
i recommend trying it, if it doesn't work after that.
then i'd look for other help.

make sure you pump before plugging it in aswell.

done leave it running if nothings coming out, might burn out zee motor.
