Hey all, I'm interested if anyone has had this issue, it's a bit strange so bare with me.
In order to keep my rocks clean I thought I'd employ the magical powers of twinstar.
So once the postman had been I happily plugged it in thinking how nice it will be with no green rocks.
Upon plugging it in it was clear something wasn't right, first cycle of mist fine then each time it turned in it gave off less and less until after about an hours just a trickle of larger bubbles like a rubbish co2 diffuser.
Having spoken to Ed he tested one of his others that were fine and suggested a few tests.... Try in tap and ro. It was the same, nothing.
So ed happily took the gizmo back at his cost (very good of you mate thanks) and sent another!
Low and behold exactly the same!
At this time another one arrived from Alastair ( need 2 on a 120) old style diffuser, plugged it in and away it went, still going strong days later.
Feeling a little confused ed said he would again take it back and refund. He then tested the return and it goes fine for him?!?
Not one to be beaten I thought if pick one up online from TGM just to see, arrived today, started well, just got home from work and it's the bloody same, just a little trickle of bubbles with the old one at the other end of the tank pouring mist out!!
So the only thing I can guess at is that somehow the difference in the old style and the new style diffuser causes it to stop working in my water?!?
I should add that I've tried every possible mix of bits to narrow down what's going on...
Old style diffuser on new controller- fine
New diffuser, old controller- nothing
Different power packs etc...
The only other difference is the old working one makes a high pitched noise when it runs and the new one is silent....
So anyone had issues getting this gizmo to work for them?
It's melted my brain, surely I can't be the only one?
