Title: filter problems
Post by: renadia on December 19, 2009, 11:22:44 AM
Hi,

My Ehiem filter of 3 years doesn't pump water anymore, it starts and then there is noise and water stops flowing.

I took out my fluval 404 and broke the stick that goes in the impeller so  Iordered some and now have a impeller shaft assembly, only problem is I can't figure out how to assemble it, it just doesn't fit in

Help my poor fish have been in their tank with only a air bubble stick for a long time

Thanks

Diane

For your Eheim filter.....could there be an air bubble at the top? If there is air between the top of the water and the pump it won't work.  I don't know which Eheim you have but with my Pro II I had a problem getting it going once and I added water to it (down the intake pipe) and it started up just fine afterwards.
