Nero 5 Blinking Red

[Exotic_Reefer0]

My Nero 5 is blinking red. I believe it's jammed.. any tips on how to fix this? As far as I can tell it's clean.. I've taken it apart as much as it'll let you(which isn't much)

I've also already tried reseting it just incase anyone mentions that

Just had this. Soaked in vinegar for 20 mins disassembled and readded it to the app per AI's directions; np since. Be sure to save your flow schedule first..

Yup need to be cleaned.

DO NOT USE VINEGAR!

Big stickie at the top of the forums about how it can eat certain plastics causing magnets swell and polluting your tank..

Instead use citric acid, or my personal favorite, diluted muriatic acid.

Oh it was an hour btw...

I used vinegar because thier instructions specifically mentioned vinegar. I'm aware of issues it's caused for some but I assumed AI would not mention it specifically if it would be an issue...

At least if you go by thier stated procedure you avoid warranty void issues...
