I have an Aqua One external filter Aquis 1250 which for the past week has become very noisy almost rattling at times. Checked its not trapped air and even replaced the impeller as its the only moving part but still the same. Anyone got any advice before I buy a new filter? Its driving us crazy.

Eheim never dies as they are made in heaven, all the others you might as well send me the money.
Jokes by side. Is the propeller shaft snapped ? I find that rattling is usually the shaft being broken or a magnet not working. check it and take this apart. cheers jk :thumbup:

the impeller might be new, but have you checked the shaft ? That is the ceramic stick going through the middle of the impeller ? cheers jk :thumbup:
Will check it out tomorrow but should be ok as unit is bought complete. Watsch this space.
the other thing it might be is the small rubber inserts into which these shafts are put into. maybe one feel off. I hope you know what I mean, but these rubber things have a hole in the middle and you insert the propeller shaft into this and stops it from vibrating when it moves. I have found that sometime during removal and cleaning that these little suckers fall out and that might also be the issue. get a torch and check this in the filter as well. cheers jan :thumbup:
Jan, I know what you mean and all parts are there. Tool kit coming out tomorrow night.:cry:
You might have to cut and reseat your tube intake onto the riser. Sometimes they look good but are sucking in tiny pin holes of air into your canister.
