UnexplainedWays Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I bumped something and the plug for my eheim biopower 200 slipped out but was still hanging in there. The filter itself also got bummed. When i plugged it back in there was no water flow however the unit had some vibration still. This means something is working but maybe something got fried or jammed. does this sound like a throw away job or a possibly fix? Any suggestions before i pull apart or bin?

plecosam Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hard to say without seeing it, could possibly be just the shroud but potentially could be much worse, I don't know... post some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lictoga Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Pull it apart and check the impeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Or keep the impeller and bio media THEN bin the filter. Unless its in warranty. Not worth dying over a filter... even an eheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the cichlid kid Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Not worth dying over a filter... even an eheim. True. But I'd want it to be an Eheim if I had to go that way. On the condition it was a German made one though. I'd be pi$$ed if it was a "Made in China" Eheim that got me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnexplainedWays Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I decided to pull what i could without getting into anything electronic. I started with blasting the tap though the guts to flush stuff out - that didn't work I found parts to pull off and still no luck. Then a few frustrated shakes later and BAM action. How good are eheims!! Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plecosam Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 So Chiheims are as good as Eheims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
