Hi all

Just looking for a bit of advice.

I have a 6 month old Juwel Lido 120.

When I do a water change I always unplug the filter so that if I disturb the sand, it won't get caught up in the filter. However, the past few occasions when I plug the filter back in the pump does not work- I can hear a buzz from it, so theres power but no flow. I end up just pulling it in & out of tank a few times and eventually it kicks in. Once its running, its fine again. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Give it a good scrub. Take it all apart and give it a proper clean. You may know this already but clean the filter media in old tank water.
 
Ah, I did take it out and wonder was it blocked, but I didn't see any obvious way of it coming apart- perhaps didn't look hard enough.

Thanks for the replies.
