I have an eheim external filter. It primes its self normally - i just allow the water to flow, it fills its self up, then plug it in, and we're all sorted.

I now have a UV steriliser on the outflow, and that apprears to have screwed things up! I was washing the filter out, hooked it back up, and it wont prime its self! So i filled the canister with water, but still nothign!

The pump is going, but i think there may be an air lock or something?! I have read online that priming is an issue when something is on the output, but cant find a solution to get it going!

Help please!!
 
Could you not suck on the end of the output to fill up the canister? that way no air should get trapped :) I had this on a Fluval filter with the "easy prime handle"


You may get some tank water in your mouth, nothing a mint wont sort :good:
