Hello everyone,
So today i have recieved my first eheim filter and i bought it not because i needed it but because in 15 years since i first started this hobby all i hear when it comes to filtration is Eheim, Eheim, Eheim! Most durable, efficient and QUIET filter... so... I just had to see and own the allmighty Eheim classic canister.
The only problem with this filter is that it sounds louder than my 8 yr old JBL e901. I know it has a bigger pump but everyone is saying that they need to go really close to even hear anything from the filter but i can hear the rattling from across the room and that is annoying for everyone in the house. I have installed everything correctly and even double checked the impeller and everything was perfect. I primed it correctly and the air sound was on for about 20 seconds and after that just the rattling with no bubbles coming out.
It is really a Pita to send it back to germany and wait 2 weeks for a replacement but i will do it for the sake of everyones sleep.
Does this sound normal to you?
P.S. I checked with a sound meter and its @50db.
