fx2 impeller issues


Recommended Posts

My fx2 that I recently bought a month ago started losing its flow a lot out of nowhere. I could not figure out what was causing the issue so I took all the media in the filter and cleaned it throughly, took off the motor parts and cleaned it as well. Put it all back together and its still running with poor flow. There is not broken parts and nothing is clogging the input and output either, so I am kinda stumped if its something with the motor.

flow in = flow out, so I would verify tubing isn't kinked, valves slightly shut, or anything like that.  Absolutely contact fluval and verify things with them.  If there is anything wrong with the impeller / pump you'll notice it on the shaft itself and on the impeller magnet.  It may have just lost charge, need lubrication (100% silicone grease), or something is allowing it to float out of alignment.
