 Topic: Koralia stops

Any ideas as to why my Koralia stops? I'll stick my finger in to start the blades going again but still a few hrs later it just stops.

I had a problem with mine doing a similar thing, but the issue was related to build up on the metal stem that the impeller spins on. What I had to do was remove the pump, and clean the stem and it would work for awhile. However, if would act up again a few months later due to the same thing. After some struggles I found that I was keeping my Alk way to high and it was forming a residue on my pumps. Since I made some adjustments the problem seems to be behind me.

Is it the new evos? I have had 2 impellers bulge up on me now. One of them I could not get out of the housing it was so jammed in there.

I had a problem with one of the new ones too (impellers bulged). I just pulled out my stash of old ones. Sad...really liked the old ones.
