AI Nero 3 - Garbage

[SchrutesReefs]

Once above about 70% for mine, they’re noisy

I disagree. Never have an issue, I’m running a 3 and a 5

Mine has been a bit stop/start after a clean.
I pull the power plug to reset and off it goes again.

Nero 3 owner here. I have 3 of them . 2 of them have been perfect no issues. The third one however has been nothing but trouble from day 1. Stalls constantly . It takes multiples of plugging and unplugging to get it to work again. Its about 3 months out of warranty now . Really wish Id have had it replaced

Funny, I just had my last one (of 5 I’ve had) fail 6 months after warranty. Never buying an AI pump again, but do love their lights.

I love my nero 3s. Almost 2 years on the pair. Only at 55% max right now, but I have run them higher and they are quiet. I do also like jebao, but one of my slw started making a ton of noise. I run all jebao returns and they are great.

With its retail price, it SHOULD be more reliable or extended it’s warranty

Had my four Nero 5s for years and never had an issue *shrug*

Getting over 4 years on them so far is pretty good considering...lol

Out of all the pumps/powerheaders I have bought the Nero 3 is the only one that stopped working. Mine will start for a sec and then shut off. I tried everything and its out of warranty. I have 10 dollar powerhead that had less problems. It's a shame I really like my Nero 5s and my AI lights.

Agree. Here comes the Jebao pump comment, never had one died on me yet for about 7 years in the hobby, except a return pump I got from an old set up, it’s propeller housing cracked but that’s it.

Some credit cards will extend warranty by 1 year. That’s how I got mine replaced.

So the credit card company paid?

Yes. They will pay for repair or a new one.
