fishgirl53 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi can anyone help me I cleaned my filter out like I do every fortnight this time I decided to clean all my hoses and they were pretty dirty put everything back together now not running properly the filter fills up and when it reaches the top there is a guggerling sound comes out of the breather tube and it stops will not empty I can turn off and on the switch or give the cannister a little shake and it will start up again it may go for a little while then it will stop again when it keeps going the water does not go right to the top of the filter it will go down again on its own do this for anything from 3 to 10 fills it sound like air getting in some where I have had it out numerous times but still can't find the problem it is a 2329 Eheim Professional wet/dry filter has anyone had this sort of problem appreciate any help thank you cheers Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dachende Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 When I clean out my cannister, it does similar things - I think it's to do with air being trapped inside the filter. I've found I have to make sure the water level inside the filter is as high as I can get it to go when refilling - and also try to make sure there's no air bubbles in your hoses. Sometimes lifting / moving the hoses helps the big bubbles dissipate. Not sure if helpful , but sounds very similar to what happens with mine.

fishgirl53 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi thank you for your reply I read someone elses post where they tilt the cannister front ways and when it started up slowly lowered it back down I done that so far so good fingers x will let you know in a couple of days if still working :thup: :happy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishybiz Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wondering why you would clean this filter every fortnight. I would think it would only need doing every 6 months or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
