You saved me! I know nothing about these tanks and my husband got one for the kids, he's working and I had to rely on the internet for help. I was all done and the pump didn't work! I poured water in it like you said and now it's working. Thanks so much!!
Omg you are the goat i was so sad i have no chance to get down and get a new one and i just got two new Goldie’s I appreciate this video my filter works ty so much
My filter just stopped working and i was worried and my bf said look it up. So here I am and u saved my fish! Thank you! I did what u said and it started itself right up.
Okay I'm not entirely sure how these hang-on-back filters work but I assume something to do with a magnet? Is there supposed to be some sort of little propeller down by the motor part of the filter? IDK I got one at a thrift shop it's not working so yeah, is there supposed to be something spinning??
Help! I unplugged mine and when I plugged it back in it stopped working. I checked and the impellar is working and there is no debris as the filter is less than a month old but I cleaned just in case. There is no issues with the power strip and idk what else to do… I have 2 turtles so I really need it to work
What about when the right side of the filter begins to lift.. When I say the right side I mean the platform that the sponge and filter rocks are sitting on and it continues to lift on the right side. I bought two filters now and having the same issue with the new filter. Send help 😩
Thank you so much man I have an axolotl and his filter stopped working and almost had to buy a new like 100 dollar one. Turns out my boyfriends hair was just in it. Thank you so much man!!!
I recently bought a fluval chi tank...I put it together rocks water decorations etc ..this is a very different filter than normal I turned it on the worked the filter is not working at all it's not pumping so I called Petco every Petco in a 75 mile radius they do not have any anywhere..so now I'm stuck with a tank that is completely setup and not working...they don't even have one available for shipping...89 dollars on Amazon I can't afford that any idea to fix this filter please
Ok I have a brand new sussun hang on filter doesn't want to suck or spit out the water I did everything fill the chamber up with eater etc. any reason? thanks
Thank you! I got my old marineland model (like in video) going while I'm waiting for parts for my Fluval 206 when it started to leak. Just a little vaseline on the impeller and extra priming to get it started after sitting for 3 years.
It's a brand new topfin filter and it has power but it makes a loud rattling noise and doesn't suck the water into it, it came with the 37 gallon tank all from petsmart in the box but nothing you covered seemed to be the issue and I'd really dislike replacing a brand new filter that that never got used
My filter isn't pumping water. The motor is moving but isn't making a smooth sound. It's one of those electromagnetic motor filters so I checked it and it's fine. But it's not pumping any water
I just got a Top Fin PF40 and it's not working, I can hear the impeller spinning and I've primed it by filling the back and watched so many videos and just can't figure out why it won't start pumping out the water
Do what he said about putting Vaseline on the inpeller. Mine spinned and it sounded but didn’t suck the water. I put Vaseline all over it and it worked.

If I order a pump/filter, how long will my fish live without one?

Troubleshot in 1.30, turning off and on at the socket wasn’t working but taking out and plugging back in did 😂

Thank you so much this resolved our issue, we just had to put water in the filter to get it started like you said and it started working

My issue on my humpback filter, I think it has an open wire cuz i was grounded when I touch the water
My filter isn't pumping water. The motor is moving but isn't making a smooth sound. It's one of those electromagnetic motor filters so I checked it and it's fine. But it's not pumping any water

You saved my filter thanks brother🎉
I unplugged mine from the power strip and it won’t pump after plugging back in. Not even a month old

@@spartan2867wym? Bubbles
Thank you ! Helped a ton :)
i cleaned my fish tank filter out now it isn't working
That’s why you get sponge filters as backup ☝️
This help a lot !!!! Thanks
I just got a Top Fin PF40 and it's not working, I can hear the impeller spinning and I've primed it by filling the back and watched so many videos and just can't figure out why it won't start pumping out the water
Did you ever figure out what it was
Do what he said about putting Vaseline on the inpeller. Mine spinned and it sounded but didn’t suck the water. I put Vaseline all over it and it worked.
Thanks bro
