Problem:

Small air bubbles returning to the tank

Bubbles escaping from the powerhead

into the sump.

No waste collecting in collection cup.

The Accela pump is producing little or

no bubbles.

Tank has high ammonia or nitrite

readings.

Before calling CPR's Technical Support, please take some time to look over this trouble-

shooting guide. Most of the problems associated with the performance of the

SR3 are due to improper maintenance of the venturi powerhead.

Trouble Shooting

Cause and Solution:

The surface tension of the water has been increased by the addition of additives,

medications, or conditioners. Disable the protein skimmer by submerging the airline

into the water (remove muffler first) for 24 hours while these additives are active in the

tank. Many products contain chemicals which will still be present in the aquarium after

24 hours. Running the protein skimmer as well as the use of activated carbon will help

to remove compounds which may be affecting surface tension.

The salinity may be too high.

The aquarium has just been cleaned or water has been changed. Synthetic salt mixes

often contain conditioners which increase the surface tension of the water. Bubbles

should disappear within 24 hours. Also check the silicate levels of your water.

The venturi air line is clogged with detritus or salt creep. This may increase the water

flow rate and possibly sweep the bubbles from the skimmer chamber back into the tank

before they can dissipate. The airlines should be cleaned regularly.

The rejuvenation plate is not set properly or is missing the small "O" ring that fits

around the plate. Remove the plate and make sure no detritus or calcium buildup is

preventing proper installation of the plate and that the "O" ring is intact. Be sure not to

break or bend the two clips which hold the plate in place.

The collection cup is not low enough. See instructions for the correct height of the

collection cup.

The biological load may not be sufficient enough to generate significant waste. A new

tank or a tank with supplemental filtration may produce limited waste and skimmate.

Skimmer chamber is not filled with micro bubbles. See next issue.

An airline or muffler may be blocked. Detritus, calcium and salt will build up in these

parts over time. Clean these parts regularly. Check the airline and pump for normal op-

eration. Also ensure airline is not submerged. If necessary, remove the pump from unit

for further testing.

The powerhead may need to be cleaned. If the powerhead becomes clogged with

organic or calcified material, the flow rate and the air intake rates may decrease. Follow

the instructions included with your powerhead for regular cleaning. Soaking the pump

in a diluted vinegar bath may also help break down calcified material.

Your tank may not have completed the nitrogen cycle.

Cleaning the powerhead at least once a month will ensure

optimal performance of the SR3.
