Sani-filter install Direction??

[Jetgod]

Changed my vacuflush sani-filter the other day and was un-sure if it was directional at all? Shortly after change-out, ie one #2 use, my pump won't stop running and toilet appears clogged. Thought maybe I had the filter in backwards. I did pull out the little packing plugs that were in both ends prior to install. Thanks

So I have the original 310001 filter from sealand dometic with the grey and blue lable... and on mine it reads "holding tank vent filter"... the "holding" side of the filter goes to the vent through hull. The "filter" side goes to the tank side.

Yep, Good picture. I will check mine tomorrow but a least I know it works your way.Thanks. I don't think there is a directional need to install it but I am trying to make sure.

I've taken them apart. Exactly the same build on both sides.

So no one way check valve at all inside?

Me too. Made one from scratch too. Omnidirectional.

Ha ha, got it. Knew that was wrong when I typed it but too lazy to change it. Filter placement is fine. Went out to the boat yesterday to try and clear a potential blockage I might have and was hoping after sitting a few days the TP might break down and pass thru the system. I turned the breaker on and after about 33 cycles from the pump it stopped. I thought this might be good. Tried flushing the toilet and she worked liked a charm. Let it build pressure and flushed a good amount of water thru it and everything seems normal again. The pump generally cycles about 30 times or so every flush. Is this about normal?
