I agree, it isn't challenging to prime it. Just a pain to fill the reservoir, reach down and plug the filter in, then keep pouring in a bit of water until it gets going.

Internal filter for zero noise? And no sound like somone is peeing into my tank. U can reuse the sponges and u can cut after market poly pads cut to fit to save money.

Fish24907 said:The last time I did a Pwc I didn't even touch my aquaclear hob filter. I can't ever remember what it did to be honest lol.
I don't think it even stopped, or else I would have noticed it stop. But maybe it did. I have no idea lol
Hopefully I didn't damage its motor or anything by not turning it off.
Hopefully! I know that the HOB has to be primed before it will run usually! Maybe you didnt get the water past the intake tube! Let's hope!
adadkins1 said:Yeah, I don't turn mine off for PWC's. I just do it to when I need to do filter maintenance like rinsing out the media or fixing a rattling impeller.
Depends on the filter. Some you can, some you can't.U can't fix it
adadkins1 said:Sometimes I just have to take out the filter media and put it in some tank water. Then just take the intake tube out and make sure the impeller assembly is properly situated. Sometimes a little jiggle or two and put it back together. Like skywhitney said, sometimes you can't fix it unfortunately.
