  • Problem with myEhiem 2262....

    Ok...I have a problem with my ehiem 2262 and I cannot fix it for the life of me!

    When the power was flickering on and off at my place during the storm the 2262 was still plugged up. Well something happen and I'm getting a million bubbles (fine) coming out of the return. I have taken the 2262 apart and clean the impeller and canister yet i still have a million bubbles coming out.

    Anyone know what is going on?

    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

        Delock,

        I have a 2260 pump with impeller -- let me get over to your house next time you have time.. lets replace the impeller and see if that resolves the issue.
        When I had my 2213 impeller go bad this is exactly what I saw.. the second thing is that my output was diminished a lot.

          Check and make sure the seals are not binding somewhere but if all looks well then you just need to let it run to get rid of the air cavity.....you can let it run and just give it a little bump around a few times so that it breaks away.

              This is what I noticed.  I have to go thru and clean alot of filters because debris in the filter fell of media and sidewalls, and compacted in the bottom right after the power came back on.

              IF you already cleaned it, and the pump and impeller, then you probably got a assembly issue with the lid tightness, or o-rings in the inlet pipe to canister or the pump.

              Also check the tightness on your discharge line.

              The bubbles could be coming from heat generated in the pump, IF the pump lubrication gulleys are not clean, or your impeller is dirty...you might want to re-check it

                I meant give it a few bumps to "help" it unsettle any air pockets.
