Seio 620 problems.

xxxbadfishxxx · 06/15/2006, 05:35 PM

well i come home from work today and noticed my Seio 620 wasnt working, its 2-3 weeks old. I restarted it by using a small stick to spin the impeller and it took a couple of times but it started up. Turns out our power went out, so that explains why it stopped. However, for some reason it is spitting out bursts of microbubbles every once in a while, why is this? it has now way of getting air so i dont know where these bubbles are coming from. Also, if this was to happen again, would having it running without the impeller spinning eventually burn out the pump?

thanks

Jeff

This is a common problem with some new Seios. I have 2 620s. They did the same thing at first. They seem to have somewhat of a break-in period. Watch them for the first month or two. Mine are fine now and I'm very happy with them. Just be sure to take it apart and give it a good cleaning once in a while, once the coraline starts packing on and blocking the intakes. It's a pain, but you'll keep it performing much better.
