Cooling Eheim 1048 Noise

Hi,

I've had my eheim 1048 for about 18 months and all of a sudden its started making a worrying rattling noise.

I took it to bits once which helped for at least 5 mins before making the noise again. Anyone had this problem and know a fix?

Thanks

Noise in the pump usually means you have air in your system. I would try re-filling it.

It could be something else like your pump being worn out etc

 

I've re-filled it twice now with no luck.

I read somewhere that there are some platic blocks holding the ceramic shaft in place, does anyone know anything about them and if they can be replaced?

Thanks

 

take it out and clean it, then check the mechanism is working with no errosion etc

 

take out the impeller and super glue the two pieces together

 

try this eheim-mod

with the time the ceramic axle starts to be worn out itself and creates a recess(?) , that starts to make noise.
