Rena Filstar XP2 air leak
I recently purchased a Rena Filstar XP2 off craigslist.It does filter and it does filter well.I have had it setup for about a week.After a few days,I notice a rushing sound from the intake,and the outtake has tiny air bubbles.Any clue whats causing this?I do notice when it is tipped a little the back leaks a little.Maybe air is coming from there?I do like the power and when its not purging air it is super quiet.But I really need it to work right and figured I would ask the experts for some advice! A: Air leaks in a second-hand filter can be difficult to diagnose. There have been a number of Q&A's already posted on this subject. The links are posted below. Second, I would review the video at Mars Fishcare regarding the proper setup and restart of the filter which might tell why the filter is not priming properly. http://www.planetrena.com/rena-filstar-performance-questions.html http://www.planetrena.com/Filstar-Rena-FAQ.html You will need to scroll down the page to find them but there are at least 4 or 5 questions and troubleshooting guides on this subject on either page. We also have some excellent DIY videos on the subject which I recommend. |
