Tunze 6100 cleaning

Thanks Tony, that's mostly what Roger from Tunze suggested as well.

I think my levels are within reason and I have the new impellers.
Mag 1500 ppm
Alk 9.6 dkh / 3.43 meq/l
PH 8.2

The 7095 has the Interval 2 setting that the 7094 doesn't. It keeps one pump idling and pulses the other instead of shutting off while the other one pulses.

Keeping the one idling instead of stopping is supposed to really help them not to stick.

Something else to upgrade, don't you hate planned obsolescence

Already got a list going
Euroreefs- new pumps and impellers
Reefkeeper- new settings and PH control
Tunze controller
1080P TV

Can the new impellers just be ordered or do you have to get a new pump? When did they come out? My newest 6100 is only from a year ago (Boxing Day sale ..)

i have both 6100 and new wave box (they are black now) with new impeller)) i can try and see if they will fit each other. Even though wavebox comes with 6200 pump i think it is the same diameter. I kinda like old prop better it looks so cool!
let me know if you want me to try and fit new prop to old 6100 pump.

J&L sent me the new impellers in July.
It's called 6000/6100 impeller assembly so I don't know if they fit 6200.
Model 6100.7 $42 bucks each.

What is the reason for the change in design, do you know? Is it just that the bottom bearing pieces are prone to calcium buildup? Or is the new design superior in other ways as well?

I think the biggest thing is the middle hole goes completely through it now for better water flow for cooling and there are no more brake shoes it's one piece unit. And they say it's supposed to be a little quieter.

I ordered mine through Canada's Tunze Rep.

The part number you need is the 6100.700 New Stream impeller (includes propeller)
