Title: Crappy directions
Product review: For those who are having trouble getting this to prime, here are a few things that helped me. The directions fail to tell you that you must plug the spout over the sponge into the intake (inside the sponge) There must not be any air inside the filter before turning it on or it won't work. Fill it up to the top before turning it on. The top must be closed. And no, you cannot fit in all the media that is included. Just put enough of the white pieces so that the top can close easily. The carbon bag that comes with this sucks, so it would be a good idea to replace it with a better one like others are recommending here. Otherwise the filter works surprisingly well for the price.
