Problem: Wave pump is sucking water instead of blowing

[125gSW]

I have Current USA eFlux wave pump, noticed today that water was being sucked in instead of blowing out which is very weird, Anyone have any solutions?

You have reverse current. try unplugging and cleaning magnet and plug back in to see if it corrected itself.
If no change, try plugging into a different outlet

Try unplugging and replugging back in. I have some old aqueon power heads that I use for water mixing that do that sometimes when the power goes out.

This solution worked! At first turning it on and off didnt work. Then I kept it off for 30 mins and then turned it back on, now everything is running chipper for now. Thanks!

Thanks! I am definitely going to use this method when it inevitably goes bad again, got a temporary fix it seems but I will be cleaning it all up during next water change
