Undergravel Filters

Why am I the only one who uses a reverse undergravel filter? Am I Bad?

I've read too many posts about reverse flow UG filter tanks, crashing after 50 yrs...not worth the risk!...IMO

Oh No. I'm screwed.

I found one in the back of the store room, brand new in the box.. like 20yrs old. I am just not sure if I should save it as an antique , or use it???

O nvm it doesnt have a reverse gear either glad I check thnx oh207.

I think you have to install it, turn the tank around and do the hookie pookie for it to work properly. Did it not come with directions?

Put it in up side down.
