Power head repair?
I have a Koralia Nano that I bought off a user on the this board and it worked fine till I came home tonight. It still vibrates so something is still working, but the propeller doesn't move. I had it facing down if that has anything to do with it.
Anyone take these apart and repair/clean them? |
try facing it horizontally they really are not meant to face down. ON a angle is fine but bore than a 20 degree pitch is not advisable and they should not be use on a timer but you can use a controller with soft start.

Take it apart, clean it with Vinegar and a toothbrush (preferably not your own:lol: ). Generally, if it's shaking like it's trying to spin and nothing has snapped there's just a minor snag
|
Does the front cage come off? I tried to pry it off and snapped it a little, was it just stuck and needed to soak?
|
Is there a lot of coraline algae on it? other calcium deposits?
Might be worthwhile if you soak it in vinegar for an hour before you try to take it apart. Also I would not run it out of the water. |
thery also turn opposite then normal threads when they come off.
