Cole.S Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I have had my Nano air pump for about 3 months or so. First thing I noticed about it was that it would randomly turn off. Of course I can normally turn it on with a smack. Sometimes I have to unplug the tubing and then smack it again😂. I have it connected to a aquarium  co op nano sponge filter. Maybe it’s getting clogged? I just got back from a one week vacation to find it off. My fish are fine but I just wanna know if I can fix it? Its getting irritating It’s starting to get so bad where I leave for 10 mins after turning it back on and find it off again! Please someone help!! This is my first time using this so hopefully I put this in the right spot😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted support and they provided me refunds and I decided to get the bigger air pump which is significantly better. In my opinion, the nanos are better for temporary use but some people have them on for a long time with no issue. They have a year warranty so they will probably ship you new ones or provide a refund if that’s the route you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyAqua603 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I've experienced the same issue. I have 2 currently, one is hooked up to a size small Aquarium Co-op sponge filter and has been running strong for over a year now. Has never shut off or gotten weaker etc. My second one would randomly turn off in my 14G so I packed it up for a while. Just set it up purely as an airstone on Friday and was working flawlessly. Tuesday morning (today) I wake up and it's off, and I am having to go through the routine of smacking it, unplugging it etc to get it back on. Seems to be shutting off every 10-20 minutes or so. I love these for how quiet they are and the versatility of being able to take one and go haul fish to a show. I've checked mine for clogs, calcium build up etc but it's all good. I don't know why some work perfectly and others have these weird issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
