Hi All
guess I am not the first to face these problems:
Over the weekend, my existing Eheim Ecco went kaput. The priming handle broke & the motor-head cap is partially stuck at the O-ring, all after a routine cleaning. Perhaps the O-ring wasnt lubed?? Any suggestions on repairing this would be a great help.
Since my CO2 is running on the spray bar from Eheim, I panicked... This was also a good opportunity to upgrade the filter. So Saturday I went to LFS asking for alternatives.. They suggested Tetratec EX1200, which sounded reasonable for the price & flow. So I got this hopin to give my plants a nice CO2 back on Sunday. ..... Wel well, Tetra being Tetra, the filter leaks somewhere near the hose adapter valve.. Its a brand new one, I tried getting vaseline all over the place, this & that.. to no avail. I realised later that 1 of the 2 hose adapter is turning itself easily. Ideally it shouldnt be possible to move/screw it so.. Without any pressure, theres no leak (this I checked on the tap). Now I dont know what to do... The Tetra website hasnt got any contact telephone/customer service contact details.
Does anyone of you know their number for Mainland Europe?' I am in Switzerland.
As a temporary measure, I have the CO2 going to a small submersed pump output...So lots of mist, but still better than not having it! I would really get the tank sorted out soon..
