My AC 30 Is having trouble

[bumpylemon]

ok so the part of the filter that hangs in the water wont fill up all the way...the water goes all the way up to the spout but stops just short of filling up therefore not getting the correct flow...ive cleaned it out... done everything...anyone else have any ideas?

not sure i understand what you are saying, i have had ac's of all sizes all my life and i feel i could help you out if i could understand

the water isnt going up the shoot all the way..there is still a pocket of air...ill post a pic.

Take tube off, fill with water and replace. Simple

here you go

gravity will pull the water out if i fill it up...not sure i quite understand that.

 

[crazhrse]

i have one that does that from time to time and i just never bother with it and it goes away and comes back, do you have it sitting level, that one of the reasons they give you the leveling thing on the bottom of the pump

hmm well i have 2 ac 30s on the 29 gallon and the other one works. hmm

simply add water into the filter
until it starts on its own
