Hey everyone, I recently purchased a used Koralin c 1502. I am about to call it a piece of junk, but before I do I would like to get some insight on here.
So I hooked everything up and I have the reactor being fed off of my return through a manifold. My problem is this: at anything under full flow through (ie anytime I dial back the effluent with the pinch valve) The Eheim pump leaks from the volute. It appears that the volute cannot handle the backpressure that is created when you dial back the effluent to slow down the drip rate.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Do I need a new gasket for the Eheim? A new volute cover? Throw the Koralin away and get an Octopus???
Any help would be appreciated!
Thx in advance.
