Ben_RF Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) A while back I commented on a post about experiencing the never clog airstone malfunctioning. This ended up happening tonight. Here are a few videos of documenting it. I hope it helps. Also it seems to resolve if you take it a part, wash it, and put it back together. Video 01: Showing that it has quit working in the aquarium: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GvEVMqniQ1KTsJL27 Video 02: Showing that the actual air is going through the line: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3UcBg5nMdpX7amzP6 Video 03: Dissambling the aquarium co op sponge filter with never clog air stone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bTwqh1FJyxrMjAvQ9 Video 04: Showing once the never clog airstone has been cleaned, that it works once you put it back into the tank: https://photos.app.goo.gl/STerPphRjtNgwjPo7 The sponge filter is removed from the tank and cleaned under a sink every two weeks. The aquarium receives a 50% water change weekly. The sponge itself was serviced 2 days before the videos were taken. The airstone has been in use for 11 months.

Administrators Cory Posted May 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 25, 2021 For a reference point, how long has that never clog air stone been installed? Any outside contaminants possible? Vaping/smoking, sawdust if in a shop, in a bathroom with perfume/hairspray etc? Also do you have the blue or green felt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_RF Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Airstone installed 11 months ago. Green felt. No smoking or vaping. In the room next to this room, I will occassionally run cinnamon oil in a diffuser in the mornings on Saturday and Sunday (my days off). This is located in my bedroom on a book shelf with 4 other 5 gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_RF Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 This may or may not be relevant, I do run an air filter in that room. This is the air filter: https://www.amazon.com/LEVOIT-Purifier-Home-Allergies-Pets/dp/B07VVK39F7/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=air+filter+hepa&qid=1621903306&s=home-garden&sr=1-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
