What happened to my Eheim flow? - Equipment

ZooTycoonMaster · 07-01-2009, 10:50 AM

I just cleaned it last Sunday the 21, and the flow was excellent; like the day I first set it up. After a couple of days, the flow significantly decreased. Before, there was alot of surface movement, and now there's almost no surface movement. I just cleaned it right now (cleaned the inside and the pipes), and the flow didn't change at all. What happened?

I have this thread over at TPT as well. I just cleaned the impeller this morning, and the flow didn't change

You might have already done this, but did you clean and check the impeller?

Do you run filter floss? Could be clogged already? Or the intake tube is clogged, Ive had that happen before.

Take apart all the parts that can come apart. There is highly likely some debris stuck in there, somewhere. Clean the tubing, especially the fittings that connect it at both ends, inlet and outlet.
Is the can filling up properly? Not an air leak?

That turned out to be the problem...I fixed it yesterday but forgot to say so. Thanks for the help!
