Try cleaning it again. You will want to disassemble the pump and the impeller and soak them for 24hrs in 100% distilled vinegar. After this run a pipe cleaner thru the impeller and take an abrasive pad and wipe down the shaft. On the pump make sure the flapper on the inside of the pump just below the output swings freely. If it still does not operate properly then repeat the process once again. If the impeller is in good condition and the inside of the pump is in good condition (not grooved or worn) then build up of deposits is the issue even if they are not visible. You are also welcome to send us the pump and we can inspect it and fix the problem, you will just need to pay shipping.

is the flapper just above the pinwheel on the output moving freely? This may stuck partily open and the pump would not be pumping as much water as it supposed to which make it not draw as much air

Just a guess

Jar*Head · 12/18/2008, 02:37 PM

Thank you Sara

GSMguy · 12/18/2008, 02:45 PM

ya that thing is a beauty, i like the drain on the skimmer body that will make it easy to service.

Jar*Head · 12/18/2008, 02:57 PM

Yeah, H&S in Germany hook it up really good. I never thought they would add the drain in the collection cup and the skimmer body

well. it should be producing some nog like this in no time.. right?

4 days on med stocked 185 h&s 200-1260

especially juicy with the chunks in it... it is actually worse in the cup right now! I got in trouble bc it was cold and I cleaned the cup inside. three hours and three candles later my girlfriend gets home, walks in the door and immedieately says "did you clean that nasty stuff in the sink!" hmm caught I guess.

skey44 · 12/18/2008, 06:08 PM

Jar*Head, Brian told me all about your new baby (saw the first one at MACNA), looks like a beast. are you upgrading your tank size? how big, how many fish?

I eventually hope for 30 fish in my 60x30x24 and Brian says the 200 will do the trick for sure.

Hello Skey, i am looking at 200+ fish (Tangs, wrasses, Anthias, Damsel etc.) My tank is 480g, 250g sump, 190g prop, 55g drum RDSB, and a large fuge with LR which build inside the sump. If i have an equipment room, i will add couple 4x4 bin for larger fuge and RDSB.

skey44 · 12/18/2008, 08:01 PM

wow. I can't wait to see the build thread. I've seen the skimmer, the display, and the tank with wave! looking forward to it.

Does Brian have to plumb your fishroom too? Sound like that's just up his alley (just kidding Brian!)

MO Will · 12/29/2008, 06:58 PM

Hi Everyone

I have a H&S A200-1260 with the old style impeller

Thinking about upgrading to the new impeller style - any comments on performance difference if any?

Will

clownnrnd · 12/29/2008, 07:13 PM

I'm not sure if there is a new pin wheel style for the 1260 eheims. I know they came out w/ a new needle wheel for the aquabee pumps.

Chad

Jar*Head · 01/05/2009, 03:53 PM

Some update pic. The protein skimmer arrived at Finsreef after new year and still at Finsreef waiting to be pack and put on pallet. Eric managed to snap some shot with the beast

Here's the smallest H&S in my collection, the internal 90-F1000. I just cleaned the cup yesterday, so there's not too much to show for yet. It runs on my 29g biocube with the 20 gallon sump shown.
