smidey Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have aquired another setup & a canister filter, Aqua Via Pro 650 came with it. it says on the label 1000lph. It is identical to my aqua one cf1000. Now, it hums like no filter i have heard before, man it sings a good tune. i have the forementioned cf1000 & a cf1200 & they are silent. Has anyone got one of these that is silent or close to it? If so i will fiddle around with it until it learns to be quiet or am i starting a losing battle? Are these a cheaper version aqua one rebranded....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Via Aqua, that was the range that came out before rename Aqua One... they were just rebranded Aqua One... so before the AO CF range but similar or could say more or less the same... Oh and what is the impellor like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yeap.... I am pretty sure the parts are interchangable... They are still more or less Aqua One, however the filter you have came out when they were still named Via Aqua 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 We had a VA 750, that ran really quiet, how is the impellor in yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 didn't see anything different to my others, im thinking it may have some air somewhere or need a scrub in parts that i didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah give it a good overhaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 swap the impeller with the CF1000 and see if it quiet down. If that works then you need a new impeller. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've got 3 of them and they're all quite. Only ever change the impeller on one of them when it rattle and that fix it. Couldn't see anything wrong with the old impeller too. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 thanks, anyone got a quiet one? Mine is a via aqua 300,really quiet except after a clean up.I had noise problems after cleaning,put another impellor in and was louder,then had a look at filter and could see an air bubble half way up,between the bottom and middle basket.I removed the top and taps(read story in thread here),removed the top two baskets,put baskets back,prior had emptied water out. I read in another filter site to prime by putting water in through the bleed cap/screw on the top of filter,did this and put inlet tap on,turned tap on,waited till water overflowed the filter,replaced bleed screw,turned tap off,fitted outlet tap,turned taps on,then turned power on,no noise. Sometimes you hear the water/air in the line,I give the filter a slight shake,e.g rock filter slightly side to side,the air pockets dissolve up the outlet pipe sometimes.
