If you disassembled the filter completely for cleaning, you must put the impeller in the motor well cavity before you 'snap' in the impeller cover. Also make sure the intake 'U' tube adaptor is on the end of the 'U' tube. Be sure the filter is full of water before plugging the filter in.
it has always been fuly primed befor starting you can see all air has worked its way out its almost like your moving the flow control from + to - restricting then increasing the flow ive never seen an electric motor do this ive seen them get a dead spot and stop but not surge and now its getting a louder vibration im probably gonna get another one today after work till i can fix this one
i give up im so flippen mad right now i went and bought a brand new ac110 and its doing the same thing i dont get how it can flow fast then slow media is clean all tubes and connections good no cracks its so flippen annoying hearin the water rush and slow down the only thing i can think of is theres something wrong with my wall outlets but i dont see how thats possible anything else you plug in works fine, i guess i could use 2 ac110 to almost eqaul one with the surging what do you guys think please help lol
ok after trying other outlets with an extension cord filter did the same got out my multimeter and i think because im in a large apartment complex im getting a voltage drop and due to the fact there mag drive filters its surging i have both ac110 runnin on the 58 gallon now well see how long a motor and impellar lasts
