Hydor Koralia Evo 750

[JimmyG]

I've recently purchased 2 of these pumps and within 3 days both of them stopped working. The first one lasted a day, and today the other has failed.
I sent the first one that failed back yesterday.

I guess my question is -I'm Not sure if I want this brand again or go with another. I can see one fail within a week, but both?

please comment your experiences on these wave makers.

thanks
Jim

I've never had an issue with my koralia's 425's,735's or the 1050's. All in working order.

Hope you get everything sorted out.

Ive had 2 koralia evolution 750s and the only problem ive had is that they sometimes reverse flow when unplugged and plugged back in (a problem Hydor has since resolved and sends free replacement parts). Other than that, they are amazing powerheads, nice gentle flow and even have wavemaker capabilities.

I know that you use these wave makers Con... and thanks for your reply.

Do you have them constantly running, timer, or manual plugin when you want them on?

I have been plugin them on for a few hrs, then I unplug them off as my cichlids are small/juvies.

Yes I read some reviews about the reverse flow. Ohh don't get me wrong... they worked wonderful when they were both on, very silent and just enough smooth flow all around my 75g tank.

I have used them every which way. I had them hooked up to a smart wave system and I've had them on 24/7

Never an issue on my end...

Sorry your going through this.
