Hi all,
I did a water change last night and cleaned out my filter as normal and reassembled the filter. Normally I use the manual pumping mechanism on the filter to check it's flowing okay and then plug it in.
Last night, I couldn't get the manual pumping working properly as in it wasn't taking in water and outputting it. I've tried reseating all of the media baskets and resealing the filter, draining the in/outlet pipes and reattaching pipes to the filter head assembly. It seems like there is air in the inlet pipe that just won't shift, however this must have been the case before and hasn't been a problem.
Has anyone any experience of this and how to sort it out - with this or another external filter?
At the moment, I just have a circulation pump and heater keeping the tank going. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
