6200.230 piece broke again

[7Dragons7]

Hello Roger,

I just ordered a couple of new 6200.230 parts several weeks ago. One of them has broken already. I am not sure what to do. I have had a set of 6205s and a controller for several years now and the only problem I have ever had was these small holders. Initially I was using the algae free 100 magnets and had the same problem, one of the brackets broke within a month. However I just gorilla glued the heck out of it and left it be. Well a couple weeks ago I finally got some of the Tunze magnets and got some new clips and as I said before the new clip broken within a few weeks.

Is there a stronger clip that can be used. I see that the magnets have some other holes in them (most likely for the wave boxes) but are there any other ways to mount them.

Maybe there is just something wrong with the pump I have. The same one has broken both clips.

Thanks for any advice you could give.
Andrew

A 6205 would not work with this clip, this clip works for the 6200 or 6201? Is it possible you have it mounted upside down? The pump should hang down from the arm,not sit over it.

sorry they are the 6201 pumps. They are hanging down.

Did it break cleanly on the flat plate where it is glued? This piece is a triangular mount post glued to a flat plate, my guess is the glue joint may have been bad.

If i understand you correctly yes that is were it broke. So did I just happen to get a bad piece or is my pump kicking to much? It moves about 1/4 inch or more when it turns on. I have it on pulse with the lowest time setting.

It could be either, if you PM me your address though I will send another.
