    Marineland filter pump
    Support Group

    I am a novice aquarium owner. I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 Marineland filters. One is working and the other is not. I can hear the Marineland Filter Pump pfe2 motor running but water is not flowing across the filter. What could the problem be?

    Thanks

    Look for a way to stop the motor with your hand briefly. It might be a wheel or something.

    This will cause the magnetic drive of the impeller to "catch" again.
