Hi Friends !
I hope everything is well and everybody is doing great !

Just noticed a strange problem with my Eheim 2217 and I thought I'd request for some advice-​

I just noticed that even after running continously for so many days, the Outlet Spraybar of my Eheim 2217 is regularly spraying very tiny bubbles in to the tank. There is a strange fizzing - swishing sound coming from the 2217, whenever the bubbles appear.​

Also I have an airstone running not very far from the inlet of the 2217 (but I cant see the bubbles interfering with the inlet) - Is this the problem ?

Please advice on what might be the problem, or is it something serious ? Can this air inside the filter destroy or harm my 2217 ?
Kindly advice.
Thanks and Regards
Kush

Move either the air stone or filter intake and wait a few days. If the problem goes away, voilà!! If it continues, you may have a hose fitting leak or oring pinched. Has this been an ongoing problem from day one?
