Equipment Review and Discussion :: Rena XP4 pumping out a little bit weak?

Yeah, the water output is pretty slow compared to when I just got it. I cleaned it and everything and it still seems weak.

wear and tear, thats why I tell people to always take that GPH rating and divide by two, nothing does what it says it does for longer than a day or two, then no matter how good you clean it, it will never go back to like it was brand new

Well, I found out a possible problem. Whenever I start up the filter then it spits out pieces of lettuce that I feed to my turtle. Remember, they eat their food by ripping it to shreds and the filter sucks in the pieces.

I would check that the impaler area is clean. I've had issues like that with my XP3 every once in awhile.

i got sad after a month or so when the pumping went a bit under the standards. but it sitll works and pumps well

if it keeps my water clear, i wont have no fear.
