Fergy666 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hey everyone. so my parents are looking after my brothers tank while he is away and have taken too much water out during a water change. So the Eheim 2213 has lost its syphon. I am about to go over there to look at it and was hoping someone could give me a quick fix for this as I am not familiar with this filter. Should I just empty the canister, put the intake hose in and suck on the outtake to get the water flowing into the cannister? Or is there another solution that is easier? Cheers for the help!

syno2 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just put the outlet lower than the water level outside the tank and give a quick suck to start it and aim it into a bucket. You may have to do it a couple of times but this should get it going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
