The most help and also understanding of how it works now. I just made sure the valve was closed as I filled the intake and then opened it and voila! You’re a life saver it’s been days of trying to get it to prime. The primer is essentially useless even though I replaced ut
Ummmm u literally made my night and my giant loaches night! Shoot, you made our whole week and year! I was getting so pissed off tonight. Seriously appreciate you more than you know! A lifesaverrr
Thank you so much, my primer got stuck so I might need to order a replacement or get some lubricant for it. I didn’t think it would actually work, but I’m hoping I don’t get any diseases from the water that just entered my system because I accidentally swallowed some.😢
Thank you heaps for your vid! Going to try this on my canister filter... I have been having trouble getting all the air out of the canister and it's been a bit noisy ❤
No need to use mouth.Fill the tube with water, then plug in back into the canister. It will start flowing. Unfortunately for me, the canister did not seal properly and it was gushing out the top. I did not moisten the gasket as advised, but the gasket was properly installed (per Petco employee who has three of these units). Frustrated I am running my new setup with an over the tank Marineland filter that is 30 years old. I used a gravel vacuum. So I will try again before returning.

Wow. Lifesaver. Thank you for posting this. I was about to toss the 407 out when the priming pump plunger snapped off.

Now that you have taught me to manually prime my canister filter. My day is going great! Thanks for the lesson. 😊
Seriously, thank you you just saved me $15-$20

Any help.. my canister filter is full but it isn’t sucking any water through
Very good!👍
Hi do3s anyonr know if the 307 impeller fits the 306
I messed up and plugged in my filter too soon. It is now making a lot of noise in the canister. I unplugged it.
Hi, all I did was move my fish tank from one room to another room and I primed my 107 and 307 and now they’re not working and I primed them 😪🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠
Tried all this and still not pumping :(
I have this problem with a brand new Fluval 307
Same. Been trying to get it started for an hour now. Never had this problem with any other filter. Brand new out the box.
🤮🤮🤮 it worked! Now using mouth wash
