I'm having trouble priming, I've checked all connections and re-set it up. Any ideas?

Try pre-filling the filter with water up to the top basket. Then turn on the filter and pumping the primer rabidly, about 3 stroke per seconds should do it. Once the water start flowing in the tubing all the air should be flush out. Try to flush as many air bubble out as possible by tilting the filter back and forth, left and right up to 45 degrees.

Make sure that you have water in the canister Make sure the valves are in the closed position and the intake and outflow ends are submerged in water Turn the filter on and the open all the valves

What I do is fill the entire canister with water from my tank. Then I prime a couple of times. Then I wait for the suction to build up in the canister ( about 2 mins.) when I see the water trying to move in the tubing I start priming. It will take about 10-15 pushes on the prime button before it starts working on its own. Also make sure the lever between the two inlets is in the right position.

Make sure you have setup the tubing according to instructions. Unscrew the intake tube cap and manually fill the line until it is flowing back into aquarium, cap and start the pump. This will insure all the air is out of the system.

Push down and hold 3 seconds then let it go 3 seconds again and then push down 3 secs and repeat until you fill the inside of the canister and the water will start flowing all by itself

Have you filled the canister with water and attached the supply and return hoses to the correct nozzles?

Cut and Reduce intake and output lines so that all slack in removed between canister and intake and output. Air in the line loops contain air that prevent the unit from priming.

Did you fill the unit with salt and or feshwater first? You should fill the canister first - do not run it dry. Then use prime pump or a power fire up.

Yes, the CDU980E is self priming. To activate the switch on the float sooner, my brother cut an empty styrofoam spool of thread and placed it above the float.

You might have either put too much paste or not enough. Check out the instructions link of to the right on this web page for more help. http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm

Another reviewer commented on this same problem. He was instructed by customer support to push down on the clear plastic ring where the water reservoir connects to the machine. We had same problem but because of his review, tried that and the machined primed beautifully!

no, you have a program set. If you rest the programs it should fix the issue. hope it helps

I have the same problem and have done all the same fixes to no avail. Someone, please help!

I had the same problem...you have to rest your panel. Google your panel and you should find instructions to do so.

try cleaning it, or might be out of time.or check the tape to make sure there is no clear tape at the beginning.

You may need to do a master reset. If that doesn't work you may have to call the company. Or it's defective and you may need to return.

Not sure what the problem is! Are you hooked up to a fuel supply that is gravity fed? If not it may need to be primed but not sure.

Run a few pots of white viniger through. May have jiggle the on button for a while and separate times to get it going again

If it were me, I would try unplugging the console module to clear and reset the entire thing. Good luck

Pull you deck out and check all you connections make sure none f them came loose and make sure all your wires are connected with wired caps instead of electrical tape. wire caps work much better and are less likely to com off

You probably just need to prime it . The instructions tell exactly how to do it. Mine works great. Good luck.

I'm having the same problem. Can't find any info any where about how to fix it. Thanks for posting the question; at least I know now that I'm not doing something wrong.

Do some testing with a short time at 1 second intervals and make sure you know how it works. Then set it to the real settings and go. I also start it without being in the case and edit that first frame out in post editing. That way I know it is going before I place it in its mounted housing.

Make sure that when priming the filter, you need to fill it to the very top. Then turn the fill cap so it's snug. this should relieve the pressure, after about 3 minutes the buzzing/humming should stop. good luck
