External Filter And Air Issue

[razer121]

Its a 1st gen aqua pro isp thing, i got it for free as it needed repairing, ive done the repair had to glue the tubes into the filter as the main tips had snaped, easy work!

anyway its been running a few days now and ive noticed it will randomly have a burst of air go into it? its the sound u get when the filter isnt pumping water through correctly, now i got it of my sister and know it didnt do this then, has anyone any idea why it might be doing it now? sometimes it will be a few hours, other times within 15 mins

thanks!

I would have a hard look at the inlet tubing as well as the filter Razer. It sounds like you have a small air leak that you have yet to find.

Thanks, you was right

Hello,

I use a thin smear of food grade silicon grease on all rubber seals and connections on my external pumps. Helps to stop minor issues with air leaks and allows joints to be taken apart more easily.
