It has now been about a week since I installed one Vortech on my 72 Bow and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed! I replaced my two Tunze 6000's with one Vortech and it has been a great upgrade. I mounted the Vortech on the side of my tank. The Vortech is definitely wider and the Tunzes. Not quite as strong end to end, but wider. I love the pulse mode and can get quite a wave, but that leads to my question.
How loud are these things supposed to be? I only have the one, so I have nothing to compare to. The pulse mode creates a "grrrrr" sound (when it is on during the pulse) if I turn the intensity up past halfway. It is loud enough that it really isn't tolerable when we are sitting in the room. I had it 3/4 up on pulse the other night and my wife asked me if the dishwasher was on! Does anyone else have these in pulse and have the intensity all the way up? Are they noisy? I realise this is rather subjective but I am trying to figure out if something is off with my pump. I'd love to use pulse all the time, but right now it is too loud......
