Problem with Euro-Reef CS-6-2+ not sucking air.

[Zylumn]

I had the Euro-reef 6.3 and every time I turned it off, upon restart I had to blow into the air intake to get it to start turning out bubbles. I wish I still had it (ARGH).

Never had a problem, are you sure of the water level etc ?

Yes in fact I just adjusted the water level today and it still doesn't work.

I've got a CS6-3 that I think should have the same size pump.
The shaft should come out of the impeller try soaking it overnight in vinegar/water.
I use a 5/32" drill bit to clean the air intake.
I have to clean the calcium deposits out of the air intake fairly often and the drill is a lot faster than soaking it.
