wes1000 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hey, I have had a Eheim 2215 for about 2.5 years now and i love it. I have never had a problem with it until now. It is starting to make a small knocking noise. After reading around here and other forums I believe that it could be the propellor that is starting to wear out. Am i on the right track or is it something totally different????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzie Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 store i work at stocks eheim, if any happen to come back with similar problems thats usually one of the main causes, has your flow rate decreased at all? Other thing to check for is that theres no gravel etc in your pipes or snails aswell But first thing id check is the impellor shaft, just be careful just incase its not broken If that fails then check to make sure the impellor assembly is stil in tact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacco Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I would also get one of the hose cleaning kits and clean the hoses out, if you get a buildup inside the hoses it can cause noise and reduced flow Cheers Pacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CThompson Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 In two and a half years have you cleaned the impeller and its parts and housing. If not do so and this will most likely fix the issue. Be carefull of the shaft as it's ceramic (better wearing) and easy to break. Treat it like glass. Oh...and don't loose the rubber end stops that hold the shaft in place, they sometimes fall out when cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
