Juwel Rio 180 Noisy Filter

Post by paul_southend2k »

My Built in Juwel Filter is making a vibrating noise, i have tried replacing the pump, rubber connection underneath etc but its still vibrating, i have tried pushing the filter in different directions from the inside to see if its vibrating against the glass of the tank but it isnt. Has anyone else found this? (its an old tank so cant take it back)

I haven't got a RIO180, but a RIO400, and the filter on that is quiet. I also have a Juwel 60 liter tank with a similar type of filter with no problems.

When you say you replaced the pump, do you mean actually REPLACE it with a different one, or just remove and reseat it?
