otto cannister problems

[mani]

howdy - got a otto cannister it was working fine but now the water is only trickling out of the spray bar - the amount of water pumping out into the tank seems to have halved. I checked everything and there arent any blockages.

Whats the deal???? anyone have otto problems?

I had a similar problem with an otto.

The problem was the filter material that comes with the otto's. The sponge and the cotton stop the water flow really bad. i ended up taking them out and filling the trays with ceramic noodles and Bio balls. Works heaps better and better filtration.
