anyone have any problem w 3338?
hmm this few day my canister motor abit noisy. i scare something wrong.
i took out the impeller, clean untill swee swee liao .. still no diff leh... still noisy
anyone can help? eh ya atman got no warrantry rite?.
Hi Jovian,
Most probably it is air bubbles trapped in your filter. You can try tilting your filter gently to force out the air. My Atman 3338 has been running for 2 months and it is very quiet. If the noise still persists, you have to bring the filter down to the LFS to check.
Where did you buy your filter from?
hi kingpin
eh ya i bought from y618. i can comfirm that the sound is nt create by airbubbles cos that sound diff. now its running like tick tick tick tick (nt that loud. but u stand beside can hear) i scare that my motor or impeller wear off.
haiz. for the past 2 months its total so peaceful.
*if i bring it down to y618 what the owner gona do?... replace? hmmm.
anyway thanx for ur reply.
just want see whether anyone have this problem b4?
Jovian,
I agree the sound between trapped air and broken impeller is different. I had those very loud knocking sound in my eheim filter before. Opened up and found the magnet surrounding the impeller cracked.
One of the best way for me to check whether the noise comes from air trapped inside my Atman filter is to take out my outlet point from tank and put it inside an empty pail at a lower point compare to inlet point. This will start the water flowing even without filter running, and flush out all air into the pail.
You can run your filter in this way for a minute or so to check whether noise still there. If so, probably mechanical part is the problem.
thanx naturetan. gona try that now.
any bro here got any problem w atman filter b4?. m i so suay meh .. haiz.
tot of bring back to Y618. do u think that will do something abt it?
Another thing. I've also experience noise when I stuff my filtering wool too thick, get caught on the rotary motor. Might like to check this too.
Depending on when you bought it, if recently, you will be able to bargain for an exchange.
hmm i just try out without switching on. i flow smoothly... no noise at all.
eh ya 2 week ago i just change my filter media position. izzit becos of that?
last time i use to put
bottom stones w black sponge
middle c ring w black sponge
top sponges (orgi sponge + 1 thick layer of kitchen soap sponge)
later i found out that i put my media opposite.
now my arrangment is
bottm sponges orgi sponges pls 1 thick layer of kitchen soap sponges.
middle c ring w black sponge
top stones w black sponge
or how shld i arrange?. anyway i use 3338 for my 2ft marine tank.
Sorry, perhaps I'm not clear.
Switch on your pump with your outlet hose at the lower point on the empty pail. Run for short time to hear whether noise still there. This is manual priming. In few secs after switching on thus, excess air should have flush out and you should not be hearing any noise.
If so, then you've to check the top tray, make sure those media doesn't get into the way of the rotary blades. If not sure, just temporary run with the top tray empty(without media) and try test run the pump using manual priming method again. Also ensure all your trays are properly seated on top of each other when you put it back. You can see this through the translucent platic body.
Can't guide you for the media arrangement, since I'm not into marine tank. Perhaps other can help.
haiz . i think my problem is deal to the impellor or the motor.
just now i found out something. i took out my impeller and check ... i insert my finger into the impeller hole.. i can feel abit of rough edges inside .. izzit becos of the edges. then it create the noise?
Not sure which part you're mentioning. That might be the catch for the rotor, meant to be rough... Saw my last edited message? Try manual priming with empty top tray, and see how.
thanx dudez.
i'll try it tml.
if its really spoil. u think i shld bring back to y618 and ask them or where shld i go to repair it?.
Jovian
