Broken Part For Tunze Nanostream 6025

[barker_23]

I recently purchased a Tunze Nanostream 6025, it was a guy on e-bay (wish i had'nt of now!).

I received it yesterday, the magnet holder clips had broken off it, it transit, therefor not being able to mount it in my tank. I contacted the seller and he has asked for the orginal one back so he can get a new part sent out. And this is gonna take some time i feel.

Just wondered if anyone had any advice for me as what to do, if there is a special place out there that could help me? (no jokes now)

I know thats what i get with buying off e-bay, i think i have learnt my lesson now.

Any help would be muchos aprecciated

Thanks

Call Tunze and ask them?

Yeah tried that, they just want to charge me £5 for a new one. A couple of people have said i should superglue ot on the to the magnet, might try that.

super glue is da bomb

If the clips are plastic, try using a solvent weld as opposed to a glue. This will melt the two surfaces together and actually weld them as opposed to sticking them. It will make the join significantly stronger

Yeah, dunno if I'd trust the superglue to the moutning bracket. That's where all the force is, and I would be wary of the joing holding. TBH, I'd just pay the 5 quid, that's not a whole lot
