clean the gunk off the wheel in a bucket of tank water...reinsert.enjoy.......:)
 
drsfosterandsmith.com says swish it around in tank water and put it back in. but you should get the ac 110 anyways lol
 
Biowheel sucks, stick with AC.
 
I would think if the wheel stopped working that the top end has dried out and it just needs a good rinse out in the tank as was stated. But you went and got the better filter, I would hold onto the penguin case you need an emergency filter. I dont think the wheels are the most important part of the filter but they do suck.
 
I have a few Penguin 350B's and when the wheels began to slow down/stop
I know that the filters are getting dirty/clogged and either need to be cleaned or
replaced. When the flow of water is restricted, this reduces the pressure needed
to turn the wheels.
