Following 2 years of good use, my Thermo 600 has been running all fine until last night where the heater decided to die [emoji24]
3 fish dead.. it could have been worst...
The way I do it after cleaning the filter:
- Fill with water the prefilter cylinder up to 3/4
- put it back in the canister
- press the big blue knob fully 5 to 10 times
- switch on the pump
- if the flow doesn't start, keep the pump on and press the blue knob fully few times until it start.
-...
If you're using a surface skimmer, check that it doesn't suck air from the surface.
I had this issue in the past and had to change skimmer model for one with bigger bottom grid opening

Salut Compatriote! :)
I m surprised that you find the Oase noisy, my Thermo600 is very quiet, you have to be really close to hear it.
The only time I can hear it is actually when there is some air trapped in it. In this case, just tilt it slightly front/back and left/right for few minutes to get...
You hold the top blue (I think) ring and with a flat screwdriver you turn the screw at the top of the thermostat until you reach the current tank temperature

On my Thermo 600, I'm cleaning the prefilter (foam 30ppi) every 2 weeks and the canister media (2 racks with foam & 4 racks with Aquario Neo Media Soft) every 3 months.
Even after 3 months they're not super dirty.
Yes there is a visible upgrade but I'd say wait for confirmation that this is fixing the issue.
I also found out that you need to make sure this filter has enough inflow otherwise it sucks air.
For example, I improved slightly my surface skimmer flow and it reduced a lot the amount of air...
I received yesterday the new upgraded Thermo 600 head. Currently testing it for few days/weeks before confirming improvement.

So, you guys got me impatient and I finally did the head swap this evening.
I compared rigorously my current head filter and the new "modified" one received this week from Oase and couldn't spot any difference in terms of design.
I emailed Oase to know more about this new modified head.
I fitted...
I have the Thermo600 and have also had air issue quite a lot.
The solution I have put in place which solve 90% of the issue is drill extra Holes in the prefilter tube, replace the prefilter sponge by the 30ppi and increase the bottom Holes size of my glass surface skimmer.
Oase also sent me...
Ok, I did 3 things that seems to have resolved at 99% my canister air issue:
- Remove the Pogostemon stellatus plant as it was losing too many small leaves which then got stuck into bottom grid skimmer.
- Moved the surface skimmer further from dense plant area
- Swap inline Co2 diffuser to...
I'm now out of the house for 4 days and I was lucky to have a neighbor checking on the tank as she discovered yesterday that my Oase Thermo 600 was full of air and running dry [emoji31]
I don't know what to think and do now. [emoji31][emoji31]
I have the Thermo 600 and have also air in the filter which then goes out in the tank.
However I think I know where my problem comes from.
I have on the outflow a glass lily pipe and on the inflow a glass surface skimmer.
The skimmer is located near plants and the bottom grid gets very often...
In my EA900 I have the Oase Thermo 600 and really happy about it so far.
Didn't notice a flow issue but I also use a Jebao powerhead at the other side of the tank.
I rarely remove the whole canister from the cabinet. To remove the prefilter, I just slightly tilt the canister to the outside of...
I use this skimmer: https://www.aquasabi.com/aquascaping/filtration/surface-skimmer/ista-glass-surface-skimmer-17-mm
Since I moved to an inline Qanvee M2 Co2 diffuser, I notice a lot less air trapped in the filter.
Regarding the media placement, I would recommend putting the plastic media at...
I have the 600 Thermo and indeed at regular times it shoots bubbles. I think this is due to the fact bubbles are going in the the skimmer inlet.
Following media cleaning, and once the oase closed back and running I indeed tilt it few times on each side to evacuate the maximum of trapped air...
Arrrgh, you're actually completely correct! I didn't think about this :(
What about a leak sensor switching off the pump as soon as it detect water?
Such as this one...
Not sure what you mean? If the inline CO2 diffuser is put on the return pipe and then the anti return valve further on it. If the anti return valve is working, the worst that could happen is a bit of water could come from the outflow pipe but then once the water will reach the bottom of the...
That actually scares me a lot! :( I just ordered an inline CO2 diffuser (not the same brand) and hope that will never happen to me.
Is there a possibility to have an anti return valve (for ex 16mm) straight after the inline diffuser in order to stop the flow if the diffuser case break?
