Remora Question

[the floor guy]

u could make sure the spray tip isnt clogged up it should be white and it will screw out

 

[David Gibson]

I have an older Remora with a Rio pump that was doing the same thing. Ended up being the air intake line was clogged. I had to take the valve off and clear it out and then it started working like a champ again.

If your air intake is in an area that gets a decent amount of salt spray, you may want to consider moving it to a less "splashy" area...this can be done by replacing the airline tubing with a longer piece, or by hanging it slightly over the edge of the sump away from the spray.

Be careful with the screw if you go too far when putting it back in it will be very difficult to get back our I am told.

Alex,

I have a remora pro and had the same problem until I got a bigger pump (mag 5) what model/pump are you using?

I've got the Pro with a Mag 3 and I usually have to get a pretty wet skimmate to get anything. In fact, if I don't get a wet skimmate, I can let my collection cup go for 2-3 weeks without changing it at all which doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps I'll try to the Mag 5 now as it's only $40 or so. Is the Mag 5 louder than the Mag 3?

get a mag 5 no its not louder
