Hydro koralias pushing water inward??

[louoner]

Why are my hydro pushing water inward instead of out??

Koralias are notorious for the impellers going backwards or in reverse when restarted or used in an on/off wave maker mode.
Suggest you turn it on and off until it flows in the right direction or you can be impatient like me and stick something into the prop to stop it then let it spin to see if it corrects itself, might take a few times this way also. Try the on/off first if your afraid the other way may break something.

If you powerheads are going into reverse I would make sure the front is covered or get a new one. I am pretty sure that my powerhead went into reverse and took my puffer in.

Also there's a small round rubber pc on the inside cage of the powerhead. If that comes loose it will make the impeller go in reverse for whatever reason. Open it up and see if there's anything moving around

U need new front grill. The start up pin is broken out.

Call me crazy but I've never had this happen.....and I am a big koralia fan and have used a ton over the years; initially the 4s and then switched out for magnum 8s. Love them.
