I've just inherited one and have put it in to use but it's REALLY noisy. A loud constant humming/vibrating and the odd rattle/clacking noise? Now I know most filters make a little bit of noise but this just seems too loud to me, so any suggestions as to what could be wrong?? I've looked at the impeller and cant see anything visibly wrong with it? Cheers. Report
December 17, 201213 yr comment_513004 Have you taken the impeller out and cleaned it and the housing? It's not hard to do and you will be able to check for damage as well. Report
December 17, 201213 yr Author comment_513024 Yeah, did that thanks Adrienne but it didnt look damaged. Its held on to the little spindle by magnestism it seems. Report
December 17, 201213 yr comment_513030 was anything scratched or scoured? Generally the rattling and noise is the impellor coming loose and flicking around Did you run it and look at it running (it is safe to do it for a short period of time). No stones stuck anywhere? Report
