Broken 6100 mount

[vmiller]

Hello,

The plastic piece that slides into the top of the 6100 has broke and will no longer hold the pump. What do I have to do to get a new one?

Thanks,
Vin

I have yet to see that piece break. How did it break? The hole is broken or the fins that slide in? It is part 6080.40.

Well, I walked over to my tank and the pump was on the bottom of the tank and no longer attached to the mount or swivel arm. I must have bumped it while having my arm in the tank doing something. One of the tabs on the swivel arm was broken. It wasn't broken off, but it was weak and apparently not capable of holding the pump for more than a few minutes.

Thanks for the part number, I just ordered it from Tunze.com.

They wear out Roger. I replaced both of mine 3 months ago and the new ones fit MUCH tighter . On mine the fins wore down over time. You really don't notice it until it will no longer hold the stream.

Hmm, I am not sure why this happens. I will check into it, I have a set I have had in use for a few years without issue.

I have one tab that has broken as well on a 6100 just FYI.
