Question about Jebeo wp25

[reefpeeper]

After about 4+ months of using this pump I have noticed that it is not as strong anymore. Has anybody else had this problem? If so what did u do to fix it?

Have you cleaned it at all?

They require more frequent cleaning than my old Evolutions I have discovered, one of mine even stopped completely but was not damaged. A quick cleaning and it was good as new. The magnet clearance inside the motor is much tighter than other powerheads so itdoesn't take much gunk buildup to slow them down.

That's what I had thought. How do they come apart?

 

[AZDesertRat]

The front cover twists counterclockwise to remove.
The last two pages of the owners manual shows this.

Try a little vinegar water bath

Sam here for mine, took it out and gave it brush bath with just tap water. Good as new, this little pump moves some serious water.

Just ordered mine today. Looking forward to getting it. I'm using sicce voyager pumps right now. Need to clean them frequently also.
