Works well but a bit noisy.
| Installation and Operation |
it has ben running recirculation for a 125 gallon tank for about 3 weeks. When I installed mine in line with PVC and was very pleased with the ability to do so with the standard PVC fittings. A bit noisy. when I first got it and tested it in the display used like a power head. It was making a ticking noise like the impeller was hitting a bubble or a grain of sand. I made sure thee was no air or sand in it but it was still making the ticking so i took it back to my LFS and tested it against an identical one. they both seamed to make the ticking sound so I ruled out the bearing. Wile researching what the noise could be I came across complaints about noise from the impeller and mods to fix it but the noise description doesn't match mine and the mod didn't fix it (perhaps I just did it wrong). The noise stopped when back pressure was applier via finger so I plumed it in to my tank return with about 4ft of head pressure and the noise stopped.
