Wave in my tank

Fliger-

If they are opposing, make sure the slave is anti-sync'ing.

Don't give up. You've definitely got a bad motor bearing judging from the sound. This will be replaced under warranty, just contact our service department at service@ecotechmarine.com

Tim,

Sent you an email. I think the pumps are running normally, but please get back to me either way.

Thanks!

The wave mode is a little bit quieter but more annoyance. I don't think I able to sleep in the same room where the tank is. It makes zZZZ zZZZ hum sound every 1/2 second which is annoyance for me. I prefer a steady hum than a on off hum like that.

I am getting the same sound and i have to agree very annoyance
I use to have tunze VB and i dont recall the same sound..it leas not that loud.
Is the anyway to reduce this sound?

Mike-

Please contact service@ecotechmarine.com. Dave should be able to help you determine the cause of the noise.

I thought the on/off winding sound of the pumps while in pulse mode was normal? Is this not the case?

 

[EcoTech Marine]

It should be pretty easy to determine what's normal and what's not. The motor is now changing speeds, so the noise caused by the ramping up and down of the motor is normal. If it sounds like a high pitched grinding or rattling, that's not normal.

I am overly sensitive to noise. My guess is that if you have a noisy aquarium anyways, this will not be as noticable. My aquarium is not much louder than a refrigerator, so the VT motors reving up and down is very noticable to me in my living room. FYI...

Got my drivers today.

Took me 15 minutes to get a wave going. Pretty darn easy..

I will probably run in reef crast mode, but we will see

Can I get that same wave if I run both vortechs on one side of the tank in sync mode? Reason is one of the sides of my Elos 120 is in a high foot traffic zone, so I'd rather not have it mounted there.

 

[EcoTech R&D]

Kinetic; depending on the length of the tank, it can be a little easier using anti-sync, but having two on one side will still generate a wave.
