Filstar XP3 troubles

[whnthsungoesdwn]

Hey guys, I am having issues with my Filstar XP3 canister. It was working fine when i had it running on my 37 gallon, then I switched it to my 75 gallon and the flow dropped substantially. So, last night, I re-primed it i hopes to solve the issue, it worked! but only for a little while, when I woke up this morning, the flow had dropped again. It feels like it is just sort of trickling out of the outflow. I checked all of the hoses and every things tight, no leaks anywhere. I tried looking on their website at their FAQ, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Suggestions!?

Make sure you don't have any clogs in the hoses and check the impeller. If that's not the problem its got to be the motor.

What do you have in the filter baskets?

too much media slows down the flow rate.

Are you collecting air at all? Is it making any noises?

Open the motor compartment and clean the propellar............Check the media boxes and clean any obstruction.............Most likely it is a faulty propelar........
