Tunze 6215 wavebox generator#

I think I'm going to see if I can find a way to contact Tunze directly and ask about this problem. TUNZE Comline Wavebox 6214The new Waveboxes Comline ® 6214 is a wave generator for aquariums from 400 to 1400 liters depending on the geometry of the tank and its surroundings.

Could just be fluke that they worked briefly when I 'cleaned' them. As I said, I had the first one crap out giving me no flow out of my 6215, and now this. I wonder if they've just made a bad batch of power supplies. I'd have to confirm that when I get home though. I've only used the new ones and I'm pretty sure that they are all running on the 18V diodes. I was under the impression that any of the 3 diodes can be used depending on if you want more or less flow. Multimeter showed it bouncing all over the place. In my case the voltage output is not steady. Not sure what the consequence is of using the wrong one.

The new style and old style power supplies use diodes that look interchangeable but they are not the same. you usually run them at 18 v but for wavrboxes you want 24 v and you can step them down if you want too). I don't know if I have the wrong diode (for voltage. I had some similar issues and after replacing a motor block and impeller, found that it was the power supply. I'm not worried about the used stuff that got soaked)? Did Tunze build a bad batch of pumps or what? 'they're bullet proof'Īm I just cursed? Is anyone else out there experiencing stuff like this (the new stuff. Tunze Stream Suction Housing Cover - 6065.130.

I had read everywhere on here that 'you can't kill Tunzes'. Full replacement Turbelle Stream for the Tunze Wavebox 6215.

3 failures already? More than $1500 in purchase price? Maybe I'll switch back to Koralia! WTF!? The oldest peice of Tunze equipment in the tank is no more than 2 months old. Applied power, it pulsed twice and crapped out again. I cursed and grumbled, took the pump out, took it apart, 'cleaned it' (nothing in there that needed cleaning IMO) and put it back in. I could see it twitch everytime that the wave controller pulsed, but it wouldn't spin. Today, I wake up from my deep night shift slumber, go downstairs and one of the 6215s is not spinning. I finally find time to take it apart, give it a bit of a cleaning (not that there was anything inside of it) and it's working again. Fast forward a week or 2 and one of the 6105 heads is no longer spinning. Shortly after recieving the 6105's, one of the power supplies crapped out and Tunze replaced it under warranty. OK, so I gave up on used equipment, and bought 2 of the new style waveboxes. Not all too worried about this portion of my problems, but I mentioned it anyways. I picked up 2 used tunze waveboxes (old style) and am pretty sure that they malfunctioned somehow spilling water all over the floor, and the wavebox electronics. Maybe I knock German vehicle engineering too much and this is karma biting me in the butt. Stop by and take a look.Well, I'm slowly growing a dislike for my Tunze equipment.
