koralia dead (1 Viewer)

[cheppi]

I changed water today and afterwards the koralia wouldn't start. Is there any chance of fixing it or do I need to purchase new?
thanks scott

sorry no fixing them in a safe way

The rod inserted properly? Mine are pretty touchy. Try starting with black cover off...

A vinegar bath is always a good start to clean them. After some time they get a bit touchy. May have to jiggle it a little to get it going. Probably the beginning of the end but the above mentioned things may help prolong.

as others have said, make sure the impeller is in correctly. I've found some will start with a little shake. Means the magnets in the impeller are getting weak and need a little wiggle to get it going.

+1 to everyone else. i have to twist my cover just right sometimes to get it to turn on.

thanks for the quick replies, but it looks to be dead after the vinegar bath also.

Does the impeller spin easily on the shaft? Mine lime up some times and I have to scrape them a bit before running them in vinegar.

This is especially true if you use kalkwasser or higher amounts of 2 part. Calcium carbonate buildup can make it cement to the shaft and not move freely. Just soaking it won't always help as the vinegar can't get in there well, you need to break it free first then give it a good soak once all the parts of off.
