If the basket’s wheel or impeller has stopped spinning, it’s usually due to a blockage or misalignment. Here’s what to check:
Turn Off and Remove the Unit: Take Betta out of the pool and switch it OFF before inspecting.
Check for Debris: Look closely around the wheel area for any debris, hair, leaves, or small objects that may be preventing it from rotating. Clear anything you find.
Check Attachment and Alignment: Ensure the wheel is firmly attached to the basket and seated correctly. A loose or misaligned wheel can stop spinning.
Test by Hand: Try spinning the wheel manually — it should rotate smoothly with no stiffness or resistance. If it feels stuck, continue checking for hidden debris or damage.
