What to do if the motor is not operating in my Tetratec Aquarium?
If the motor of your Tetratec Aquarium is not operating, first ensure that the power is on. If the power is on, the impeller shaft may be broken and require replacement (consult your place of purchase). Alternatively, the impeller might be missing or clogged with foreign materials. In this case, set or clean the impeller.
Why is there water leakage from the motor head of my Tetratec Aquarium?
Water leakage from the motor head of your Tetratec Aquarium can occur if the lift buckles and/or safety buckles are not properly closed; ensure these are securely fastened. Foreign substances or dirt on the filter case or O-ring can also cause leaks; thoroughly clean these areas. Check the O-ring to ensure it is correctly placed, not damaged, and present. If the edge of the motor head is damaged, consider replacing it (consult place of purchase). Finally, ensure the hose adaptor unit is properly assembled.

If filter media is in nets or materials not supplied by the manufacturer, remove them. Improperly combined filter media should be checked against the manual. Dirty filter floss should be replaced, and dirt buildup in the impeller chamber cleaned. Ensure the return pipe is above the water surface during startup to remove air, and avoid using non-manufacturer accessories. Finally, ensure the motor head is at least 10 cm below the water surfa...
