Hi all
I’m not new to aquariums and filters but I’m having a great deal of problems with my aquamanta efx 600 canister filters.
First I biught this from a bloke who said he had not changed it since he got it as in cleaned it.
It was a state but still flowing water so I thought a clean and it will be good
As I took it apart I thought it was strange how the filter media was set up so I looked online at videos that state the flow of water is clearly wrong in the instruction manual as well as shown by the in and out labels on the filter itself.
I connected it all together and it was leaking and sounding like it was sucking air I disassembled it and reassembled it and a couple of times had plenty of air being blown form the out pipe and then eventually the leak comes from inside the head or the outer seal. I have replaced the outer seal and lubed it up and get a great suction seal when pushing the head into the canister. Like i say it all looks great till powering it up and air is going in and then a min or so later a leak appears. Has anyone had similar problems or can give me any tips all would be welcomed thanks
