MJSpirals Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I am having an issue with one of my usb air pumps. It sporadically turns itself off, but if I give a shake it comes back on. Any suggestions? I had bother one for it but was fine in a different tank. Is it maybe the sponge filter or the bubble wall?

WillC Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Is this a AC usb nano pump? If so, give it a good whack or two on a hard surface. It seems to get the pumps chugging along again. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggets Beard Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I've had that trouble as well but for mine it was the plug loose in the wall. Just bend the prongs a bit if that is your issue as well. Or find another USB plug that you can plug the USB end into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSpirals Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks peeps, I gave it good whack on the counter top and then also reinforces the cord with a bit of duct tape. I wondered if the bend was causing the wire to disconnect. It’s been running again now for almost 2 hours, so I think we got it! I appreciate the help!
