Tunze ATO Pump Help

[Duncan Tse]

Have the tunze nano ato for the past year running perfectly and just today I noticed that it's not pumping out water anymore.

I unplugged the unit and plugged it back in and lifted the sensor out of water. I can hear the pump buzzing/running but no water is coming out of the tube.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Nvm got it to work by tipping the pump in water upside down and releasing air bubbles

Yea just found out the pumps can have air trapped in it and becomes airlocked if you lift the pump out of the water which I did when I was moving my bucket downstairs to refill water
