petplanet Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Spoke with the Rep, who sell us the Seio pumps, regarding the rattle problem. Apparently the pumps take 3-5 days to bed in. I have used a lot of different pumps and have never heard of a pump having to bed in. I have three that have been returned so will test this theory.

0pius Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Could you also keep the people who bought them off you up to date as to your progress, as I have 2 from you and have started to notice the rattle. It doesn't effect much, due to the fact it goes away but is very annoying and the fish obviously don't appreciate the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 If it were me (based on what others have said), I would keep returning them until I got a good one. They have an apauling return rate, but who cares? The consumer gaurentee act is a powerful thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossco Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 The rattle is a problem but there is one thing for sure, having bought one and had the problem I am know that Micheal makes every endeavour to put it right! For an old fogey that is uncomfortable buying over the web, Micheal makes it a one hell of a lot easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hahahahaha. Man those Seio pumps crack me up. Pie What stuns me is that after all this time people still actually buy them. Not getting into the stream debate I've checked and the Seio ones don't contain the toxic oil contained in other Seios so no worries there. But put an ordinary Seio other than the "stream" type in my tank? No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I was chatting with someone else about this in the weekend. There are a group of us who do have the Seios, and they work flawlessly. However we all got them before Kongs started wholesaling em locally for a whole lot cheaper. Seems wierd.. but it's almost as if the quality suddenly dropped a heap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petplanet Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 We have sent all the 620 and 820 Seio pumps back. Apparently the problem does not seem to effect the larger 1100 and 1500 models. We have got one 1100 that came back so we will test it. One of the 620 pumps did not rattle but it did stop all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0pius Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 well my seios appear to be working properly maybe they did need to be "worn in" Havent' had the rattle for ages and have checked it regulary to make sure they weren't rattling because they weren't going. All in all I am pretty happy with my purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
