I have an older Eheim 2217, not sure yours works the same way.
Can you release the threads, push the tube farther up, then re thread?

I am in the market for a used 2213, You could just sell it to me. Lol!

Thanks Twistersmom, ya Im sure it the same, im also going to try to clean it out and see if that work.

If the filter is from a cycled tank, wash everything with dechlorinated water.
