More than a year later and I still like my d700. It's not producing as much lately, but that could be because I am using filter socks now.

Well I just had my first major issue. My impeller seized up and unfortunately it is the bearing right behind the impeller so I can't take it apart. I attempted a vinegar soak which helped some but I still have way too much drag.
Has anyone swapped their pump out? I'm having a very hard time finding the impeller or skimmer pump for the d700.

I went from a 303 to the d500. Much quieter as long as you keep the pump clean.

D500 - Air intake loud
D500 - Air intake loud
Sorry to revive an older thread but I am working with a new to be used D500. The DC-1200 pump died so I replaced with the current DCS-1200 - exact fit and seem to be pretty much the same pump.
I noticed the noise from the air pull is fairly loud now. Imagine a low pitched whirring sound that resonates through my cabinet. It's not terrible, but its no where near quiet and enough to be annoying.
Is there any way to quiet the air pull on this design? I did notice the orange cylinder that slips over the pump intake to allow the air intake fits a touch looser than on the old pump. I added a few wraps of tefflon tape on the intake thread to seal this up. It did not affect noise level but just wanted to ask if this should cause my any other trouble?

How to dial Coralbox D500+ for dry foam? Do I need to run air intake on maximum?
