Just love a product that requires repair immediately upon delivery.

@beardedbobsfishroom7654 3 года назад

That's basically every one unless you want to pay hundreds of bucks!

After a slight drop, my Ecoair 2 got noisy. Internals are almost identical to the one in the video. Fixed it in five minutes and learned how these things work. Great tutorial!! Thanks!!!

@Avantg1976 4 года назад

Thank you! I just got this pump today and was about to return it. The reviews said it could be fixed so here I am.

Thanks, I opened my brother's noisy airpump because he was already planning to throw it away anyways and he already bought a new one for his aquarium, didn't find anything wrong with it in my initial inspection. I looked up online to see what might be the problem, saw your video, tried increasing the clearance of the electromagnet creating the oscillations for the bellow as you suggested, it's now a lot quieter now! got rid of the annoying rattling noise! Now he has a spare air pump!

@Urakaroo 3 года назад

I've had one running for a few years, suddenly got loud. Found the little rubber hinge that the arm is attached to had become deformed where the arm rested on it, making the arm far more loose than it should be. Pulled arm out, rotated the little rubber sleeve, put it back in, and now it's quiet again. Thanks for this video, it wasn't my exact problem but it gave me the confidence to poke around in there.

@beardedbobsfishroom7654 3 года назад

Good to hear it helped!!

@mariliislill3370 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! I saw this video, but mine was not hitting the metal, came here looking for additional advice in the comments and your comment helped me! I realized the handle was loose where it's attached, had a bit of a crack there in the plastic, so I put some superglue on it and it fixed the buzz (for now haha) :) Thanks so much!

Quick tip, -Get the pumping arm and rubber caps try to change the angle of the arm -Try add tissue paper to reduce any minor movements due to vibration. Place it to the thing that holds the arm that is surrounded by rubber try touching parts that dangle or move fix it -Try to hang the pump mid-air so it doesn't vibrate to any surface. It solved the 100% issue in mine Sounds like brand new now and doesn't annoy me

Omg!! I have 2 - 40's and theyre loud as HELL. I am SO glad I found this. Im actually looking for an inexpensive diapraghm pump to do water changes. My apartment went low flo so my aqueon isnt pulling like it should. But THIS, way better. .😂😂😂

@3volk715 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips! Mine needed adjusted because one of the magnets was hitting the large white piece. I also slightly loosened the nut holding the arm to the diaphragm and that seemed to help get that magnet back fat enough to stop the contact. That said I'll probably won't be buying one of these again. There's nothing worse than spending money on something that's only a hobby and the items coming in damaged.

@cjhatx8325 2 года назад

That screwdriver you were using can be used as a 1/4" and 5/16" nut driver, "wrench", for nuts and hex head screws. Pluck out the double sided bit and see if it fits whatever nut\screw you run across. Good for many duct screws, AC condenser fan shroud, household electrical.

idk man its still pretty loud after the fix, i even bough acoustic foam pads and made a little anti noise chamber but it sounds like the noise is going up the tube and idk what to do about that. Its actually driving me nuts.

@MoreChannelNoise Год назад

marks shrimp tanks has a video where he hangs the pump inside a glass jar, seems very effective. Also some people pack some filter floss in the empty airspaces within the pump.

@pauljs75 Год назад

Could probably use some folded over paper or a thin piece of plastic cut from some random packaging or disposable bottle as a feeler gage to set the gap. Seems like a stupidly easy fix. I wonder if the misalignment was a QA issue or if those things got dropped hard in shipping at some point?

This fix didn't seem to do much for my 60 sadly I guess maybe I'm asking to too much when I want complete silence but what can be done? haha I'm just gonna fill the damn thing with foam n stuff and give it less chambers to vibrate

@beardedbobsfishroom7654 2 года назад

I think foam would be a bad idea, these things get pretty hot inside!

@newtybot 2 года назад

@@beardedbobsfishroom7654 you’re never gonna believe this but I finally figured it out. It’s not my air pump, it’s my filter touching the aquarium that’s making that insane buzzing sound :^|
