Really informative video.. I over estimated my 307 a few days ago when I first set it up... From owning other types of less quality types of filters, I've since then - come to understand that the only way to get the filter to work properly was to pre-fill the canister with water before plugging it in to the power source. The reason being - according to the instruction manual - the motor would burn out. With Fluval, this changes everything! NTL, ANYONE who has just purchased the "Rolls Royce" of canister filters, YOU NEED to pay FULL SIZE ATTENTION to this video!

Great video, I've a 206 and never had a problem priming it. Maybe it's because I cover everything in silicone grease (Including the primer shaft and plunger). What I do have a problem with is the noise!

@steviekehoe Жыл бұрын

I think it depends on the location. Mine was (I've now changed to an internal filter) in my bedroom and sounded loud at night. I managed to reduce the noise by sitting it on a mouse pad and cut off bits of the pad to put anywhere the pipes touched the cabnet. It's a great filter but I would only recomand internal filters for a bedroom tank.

Thank you for doing this video! Very helpful! I have this filter but I’m new to it. I was wondering if once it’s running, if it’s ok for the output to be below water level, or if it should only be level or slightly above? I have a 29 gallon and also run an air stone for surface agitation to make sure there’s enough oxygen.

If it's hard to prime try putting a smear of food grade silicone grease on the primer shaft and on the plunger/plunger cylinder. That can help make a better seel.

Hello if you're having issues starting and priming your Fluval 07 filter here's a guide on how to do it!

@CDAFishboy 7 ай бұрын

Informative video. The instructions said to fill the filter before starting, so I filled in AND THEN out the top on. Oops, emptied it and started over. I tried both methods you lay out and there is no bubbling. The filter does not fill one bit, either priming it or not, summering out outlet or not. I have the gray lever down. Everything looks good from your video or the instructions. But nothing🤫

I just got a 207 and I’m having an issue of it running then it slows down and blows out micro bubbles like it’s purging. How do I fix this for a constant flow ?

@StuEvans 3 жыл бұрын

05's pain in the whatsit. 06's no problems for me. I do it slightly different by just pulling up the plunger while it fills. Start pump and push down lever. Pushes out last bubble. My cannister is much lower though. OK filters but getting dated compared with newer designs

@miriams8241 11 ай бұрын

U fortunately mine overflowed with water on the floor with the simple priming and then wouldn't work after plugging in and input and output flow correct. My 7nderstanding is top 9only goes on one day. Wasted my entire Saturday trying to get it to work but ended up mopping floor instead. Returned.

Sounds like you might have your In and Out hoses mixed up. If you put the hose from the intake on the OUT nozzle on the can it will do that. Don't run it like that though it will burn out the impeller. It's and easy thing to mix up I did it w my first can.

@patricksrenaski3619 2 жыл бұрын

I have multiple Fluval x07 filters. What I have found is that after the filter starts correctly, there could be air in the media that build up at the pump impeller. The flow will stop. Pumping the primer will get it going again. Also, tipping the canister front/back/side to side will allow any air remaining to vent. I always make sure there is no air left after startup or cleaning before calling the job done. Normally, I need to repeat the restart at least 3 times. I love the x07 canisters but, air lock of the pump can stop the flow. Also, some people put an air stone right near the intake. That's a bad idea. The air WILL get into the canister and it could stop the flow. Regards.......
