Scuba Sam Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I finally managed to get time to sort out my CF1000, with help from a friend (thanks Georgous). BUT in the time since it arrived, I seem to have lost some bits - like the intake hose thing and part of the spray bar - hard to get? Easy to get? Any advice please? Thanks, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Do you mean the intake hose, or taps? The hose is only a couple of $/m from places like Mitre10. If your LFS sells AO filters then they can order you parts in if you can't find any second hand ones off a mate. If you are in Akld HFF usually has some parts in stock.

Scuba Sam Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ah sorry to be confusing. I mean the bit that sticks in the tank that goes on the end of the hose and stops fish getting sucked into the filter (lost a cory that way), and a bit from the end of the spray bar.

Adrienne Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Sorry I can't help but if you find somewhere that has parts or will get them in I'd love to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yup those are the taps. I have replaced about 5 sets on various CF filters. I paid between $15-18 a set of two. HFF Albany has had them in stock or ordered them in within a week when I asked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba Sam Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure I have the taps - aren't they the bits that attach to the filter that can be turned on and off? I am looking for the bits that go in the tank itself - one bit looks similar to the intake on my waterfall filter. Gee at least I am getting the idea of what to ask for if I need to ring the shop!!

Discusguru Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 do you mean the strainer that fits into the end of the intake pipe??? ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 do you mean the strainer that fits into the end of the intake pipe??? ron I'd thought "Bit the sticks into the tank and stops fish from getting sucked in" was a pretty clear description on Sam's part.

Scuba Sam Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 do you mean the strainer that fits into the end of the intake pipe??? ron That's it - now I know how to explain it to the fish shop if I can't find a second hand one - thanks guys - anyone got one spare?

Scuba Sam Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I rang the local fish shop and was able to give a clear request thanks to the advice received here. They have a spare parts kit which contains everything I need and more, for next to nothing!! Cool stuff - pick it up tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.
