EHEIM not working!!

[IronLung111]

I have an EHEIM 2128 Pro that doesn't get any pressure to the outtake.

I did a water change and noticed there was no water flow to the outtake. I went in and found nothing wrong.

When I replugged the filter, it made weird slipping noises and shot out a bunch of gross waste for a second, then died down and the outtake flow ceased again.

I'm very frustrated. Can anyone help?! Thanks for your time.

Sounds like there isnt enough water reaching the impellor. Have you tried tipping the filter while its running and very slowly standing it back straight? This should pump out any air and get it working. Also, use the push to prime feature if you have that.

Hey IronLung. How long has your filter been up and running on a tank?

Happened to me once, scared the crap outta me too.

Try unkinking the intake hose.
