Don’t panic. Chances are, the wheel is not permanently
stopped. Irregular rotation, including brief pauses, is normal.
As long as the wheel continues to move periodically and
remains wet, it is functioning properly.

Inspect

BIO-Wheel Bearings and Axle for dirt or mineral

deposits. If evident, clean these areas carefully.

Make sure

all parts are installed properly and that there are

no obvious obstructions to free rotation.

Check

Spray Bar and Spray Bar apertures for obstructions.

If evident,clean areas carefully.

Examine

Intake Tube for flow obstruction.

Perform

regular filter maintenance.

This is not a problem.

It indicates the development of beneficial

biological culture.Do not attempt to clean BIO-Wheel pleats.
