Oceans motion help

wrimda · 06/26/2016, 11:14 AM

Hello All,
We have been running an Oceans Motion 1" 4 way for six years with no problems. This thing worked great and I never took apart to maintenance.
Also when I took apart to clean it looked pretty darn good!
Recently we moved and bought a new peninsula tank and thought I might be able to plumb the 4 way unit into two outlet nozzles and osolate the flow back and forth similar to a JBJ nano tank.
Just for clarification, I plumbed all 4 ports and joined two ports each with a tee to each outlet nozzle.
This has not worked like I thought.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Mike

How about explaining how it did (didn't)work and what did you think it would do? Which drum do you have inside the OM? How did you plumb it? Maybe a drawing would help us.

I have a very old OM 4 way with 1 linelock nozzle and 3 OM Revolutions. I just got a new top end as mine locked up. The magnet got wet and the rust caused it to swell and lock up. But OM did great with helping me out and getting me back up and running.
