Frontosa_dave Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 If I have trouble with my 404 or 403 i usually flick it on at the wall and hold a small power head over the inlet for a few moments sealing the gaps with my pointer and thumb around it to get all the excess air out of the can and after that it should flow normalaly fluvals are awesome but the primers on them are hopeless which sucks because it makes cleaning them a nightmare lol. Hope I was of help pm me if it works 4 u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjn5188 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yeh, i finally figured it out, I got a container full of parts. managed to build one working one out of about three i started a siphon with the inlet then turned it off at the valve then conected it to the canister opened the valve and switched it on and it started pumping . I'll just have to get new o-rings for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
