I have just set up my new eheim wet/dry 2329 filter.
Unfortunately it is making a horrible noise.
I checked the impeller and it seems ok.
I expected this filter to be more noisy than my 2028, but this goes beyond that.
The noise is "rattly"

Any ideas?
 
Hi

Havnt used the wet/dry but my eheim 2231 gets rattly when there is air in it. try priming it again. I have heared that the wet/dry filters are more noisy, but shouldnt rattle.

not sure either, but I've listened to the ones in the store and they were too loud for my liking. IMO, the wet/dry feature doesn't make that much of a difference, filtering wise.
 
Apparently I have a faulty impeller.

Eheim are sending me a new one, so hopefully the noise will be dramatically reduced (at the moment if you were in your lfs, you wouldn't have to listen to it - it would be all you could hear!).

This tank lives in the garage, so I chose this filter with the knowledge it would not be silent. Hopefully the advantages of this type of filter will make it worth it, will have to wait and see.

Anyway, I'm just glad I don't have to dismantle and re-pack the whole thing (took ages to get the pipework just right) - and the man from eheim said it was ok to keep it running until the new impeller arrives.
