    22ss extreme livewell issues

    I just recently replaced the main aerators(which serve to reciculate the water and pump out). Well I am still having issues with recirculation. They will work fine at first and will recirculate but randomly throughout the day will slow way down and have almost zero water being pumped through, but the aerator pumps still are running. I'm very confused and am tired of having to babysit fish all day long. Anyone have an answer? Thanks in advance!

    I just run my regular pumps all day and forget about the recirc. Fish stay a lot healthier with fresh water!

    By regular pumps you mean the aux aerator that fills from the top?

    Aux pumps are auxiliary pumps. Main pumps on Auto or manual is what he is talking about. Flip the lever on auto and the switch on Auto (timer) or on manual (constant). With the lever on auto it will be bring in fresh water. With the lever on Recirc it just recirculates whats already in the well.
    I too just pump fresh water in all day and very rarely use recirc. I do not have fish die.
