Dear Bros,
I have experienced many times the air line slip off from my rena 200 air pump. Anyone experience this? I'm using the ones that Darwin sell blue color soft airline, should I change them? |

Rena....expensive but well worth the money spent.Super quiet.
IMHO the primary cause of slipping is due to backpressure caused by dirty airstones.Furthermore,you may notice that the pump hums louder when trying to force air thru a clogged airstone. After cleaning,before slipping on the air tube simply snip off the part that was previously attached to the inlet as that portion is likely to have lost its elasticity (hardened) due to the heat emitted from the air pump. |
