Fluval 404 Problem

[benzjamin13]

It's not priming or starting up as fast as it use to. Anyone know what might be the problem. The intake isn't taking in water when it starts.

Sounds like it might be the propeller/motor? Not too expensive to fix/replace. Good luck

its a known 404 issue. Some would put a pump in the intake to help the priming process..
i would just not let it drain while running so that when the water is back up, it starts without priming.
