Power head not working properly

[beerad555]

Used 660 power head came with aquarium i bought and after i hooked it up it has flow coming out but just barely spits out bubbles, is there something to clean out or is there adjustments you can make , or is it just shot?

Is there a little filter on the end of the air line?

no only water intake that sits on top of 1 inch tube that extends down to underground filter and it does not appear to be clogged.

The above shows the air line connection for most all powerheads, including the penguin 660.
Do you have an air line hooked up like it?

you may want to take it apart and clean the impeller

How deep to you have your PH mounted from the surface? Some PH's have a hard time pulling air from the venturi tube if they are too low from the surface. I doubt it's the impeller giving you the problem if the flow of water coming from the PH is normal.

That is a really good answer.
Forgot all about that.
