Tunze power head is not working, why?
 

it stop working days ago, when I plug in, it only turn few degree one time and stop. can it be fixed? I tested the voltage is good to the controller. thanks!!

Not much to go on. What kind, how old, impeller good? Controller working?

Start with a really good cleaning.

it was 4 years old
 

I don't not know the model, the original box was gone, I remember I pay almost 600 got it from Golds.

Vinegar bath. If its seized it will free it up.

..
 

I already did one. same, when it power up, only few degree turn.

Looks like it might be time for a new one.

hahhahahaha
 

yes, may have to buy a new one. thinking about the Vertec or Tunze, anyone has suggestion?

Never used either of them. Ecotech mp series all the way.

I'm guessing every thing on that pump is repairable/replaceable. When you socked it did you take it all apart?

Keep it clean folks!
 

Best bang for the buck is the WP series Jebao wave makers I have wp 25's. As with any pump keeping the cage, motor, impeller and rotor clean with vinegar soaks is the secret to long life I find. I also run a tunze and it works well too. :smile:

Yea I agree. I've had 5 different Ecotech MP40s and 3 had to be replaced. The options of flow they offer can't be beat but the unrelaiablity and noise is the reason I no longer own them. I now run Tunzes but when they pack it in its the Jebaos for my tank.

I order a Tunze 6125.
 

the old one run for 4 years, no complain about, a little noise, powerful. I always put it on max output, so I find this one not controllable is good price.

Hi to monza and The Guy
 

Monza, I am sure take it all apart, look like the some wrong with the power adapter or the motor, after I get the new one, I will try, and find out what is problem.

The guy, can u give me a web sit about the WP wave box, I can't find it on Bulkreef.

Thank!
