Troubleshooting

Pump is not running.

Ensure the pump is properly connected to a power source. Check if the StreamMax Pump Controller (if used) is powered on and correctly configured. Verify that the pump is not clogged.

Reduced water flow.

The pump intake or impeller may be blocked by debris. Disconnect power, remove the pump, and clean the intake, impeller, and housing thoroughly.

Unusual noise during operation.

Check for obstructions around the impeller. Ensure the pump is securely mounted and not vibrating against the aquarium glass or decorations.

Pump stops intermittently.

This could indicate an overheating issue due to restricted flow or a need for cleaning. Allow the pump to cool, then clean it thoroughly and ensure unobstructed water intake.
