fluval canister owners:

[m8r8j]

hey i have a question for you guys.. i have a fluval 406 canister and when i plug it in after cleanings or water changes etc, i get a clicking noise for .25-2 seconds each time before it starts throwing water.. is this normal? it clicks for a second then starts pumping and is perfectly quiet.

My 206 and 306 whir and click till the air is expelled and water flowing properly

Probably just flushing some air. Sounds normal.

there is some air in the filter. When you start it up, there should be a large pop of air that comes out. Most canister filters have this when it starts.

My 406 does the same thing for a few seconds then it runs fine....I really like the 406 over the 405 btw
