My unit is spraying water through the air fins. Anyone have the same issue?

I've had mine almost a year and never had that problem. I hope you get it figured out!

It is supossed to be out or low on water but mine is also showing F. I think I need to change the filter before it will go away but I am not sure.

Mark, This seems to be a common problem with these units. I don't have mine anymore because Consumer Reports Took away their recommendation because some of them were catching on fire. When I did have it, I solved the drain hose issue by gluing in a stopper with silicone glue. I can't remember exactly where the stopper went, but some close examination should allow you to figure out where to put the stopper. It was a small drain hole. Check on google re the fire issue. You may want to try to return it if you can. I got a Frigidare unit which is working fine.

Ha, yeah that sounds right. It was difficult to fix, but what I did was drill two holes in the bottom of the unit towards the back to let the water drain out. It's the fan hitting the standing water that is making all the noise. It's difficult because unless you have access to the unit from outside the house (which I don't), you need to pull the unit out of the window, turn it upside down, and then I drilled 2 holes on the lowest parts the furthest towards the back of the unit. After that... no more noise. Also didn't seem to effect the unit either, still blows cold air.Hope that helped :)- Andy Ha, yeah that sounds right.

It could be the pump rotors are beginning to rust and expand like I mentioned in my review. When this happens, they start scraping and making noise, and the water circulates less. There is not much you can do about it.

You should check to be sure the unit is absolutely level. If it isn't, the water may flow into the tank instead of the hose. (Had it happen to me.)

Check the O-ring. Also watch for cracks in the "U" tube along the seam as it will suck air and cause the GPH to go way down. Mine started to suck air along the seam shortly after getting it. I contacted AquaClear and they wanted me to purchase a new one even though it was less than 3 months old and still under warranty. Terrible customer support. I avoid AquaClear (and all Hagen) products like the plague now. Both my 30 and 70 models have the same issue and now sit in the very box they came in.... sadly I purchased nearly $200 in filter supplies/media for these as well. I just cut the stuff open and use it in my new filters. Return it if you can. Check the O-ring.

You most likely have a leak in your plumbing somewhere allowing the entrainment of the air. Are you using the pump external or submerged?

Sounds like you got a faulty unit. I've been using mine all summer, never had that problem.

The answers to your concerns are really good, it might be a bad unit. Like they said, call support line, check the water level. If it buzzes all the time I'd want a new filter. Good Luck

I haven't encountered this problem. The problem I have occasionally is, at some time after installation I find air has somehow gotten into the line and causes a terrible rattle and noise. I have been able to get rid of the problem by disconnecting and reinstalling the filters. Sorry this doesn't answer you question. Does it always happen? Maybe there is something floating around that blocks the flow when you open turn it on too fast.

I have not had this problem with either pump I installed. Possibly water is not staying in the line and the gaskets are getting dried out or your intake and overboard discharge are clogged and water is not flowing smoothly through the system or (if you have one) your holding tank is full so there is no place for the water to pump into...

Apparently air got in pump. Had to constantly shut off and purge system. Again this was with unit ten years ago. Eventually trashed unit didn't try to fix it.

Are you using it as a floating device or sunken device. Mine is on the bottom of the pond. NC climate is pretty mild compared to some. If you are floating it unit might be effected by air temp.

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!
