Default Euro Reef - RS model
Anyone have a Euro reef skimmer that they are running?
I bought one used and I can’t seem to get it going…

May need to have a disccusion to find out what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

I would check the plugin and cord for bad connections. If that isn't it, I am thinking it is a bad pump.

Is this a new unit, if so, I would get it exchanged under warranty.

Ya, try letting the pump soak in white vinegar for a few hours, then re-try.

When I got the pump it was in very dirty condition. The first thing I did was clean it inside and out - she is very clean

if it is a connection thing - I think it is internal because after it runs for 3 mins it stops - this leads me to believe that something is disconnecting once the pump heats up. Once the pump cools off it starts again...

what do you guys think?
