October 15, 201213 yr comment_502867 Just purchased a fluval canister a week ago and its been nothing but noisy , suspecting its coming from the motor , has anyone experienced similar problems? Report
October 15, 201213 yr comment_502871 found an old fluval the other day, got a slightly rattly impeller but only if you listen carefully Report
October 15, 201213 yr Author comment_502874 Yeah that sounds similar to mine and gets really bad when i decrease the flow rate, just doesnt seem right ? Report
October 15, 201213 yr comment_502875 check the impeller is sitting properly and the rubbers on the ends of the shaft are not cracked or damaged. most common causes of rattles (I just can't be bothered fixing the old one) Report
October 17, 201213 yr Author comment_503224 Has any one had any of the 06 fluval range of canisters? When you decrease the flow is it normal to get noise from the impellor Report
October 17, 201213 yr comment_503234 check the 0-ring on the tap and on the canister (if that model has one) found my rattle (403 btw) it was a tiny air leak in the seal near the top of the canister Report
October 17, 201213 yr comment_503334 With a small canister filter i have i noticed it had a bit of a rattle when i first used it. In the end i decided that the rotor/magnet thing was spinning around in air. Pulled the top off the filter, and squirted water where the impeller sits. Turned it back on and it was quieter. Cant hurt to try that? Hopefully i made some sense Report
