Noisy Filter
I have a Tetra PF3 filter supplied by a 1100gpm pump. The filter has an air
intake right above the water inlet. This air inlet is very noisy. I plugged it up yesterday and it great. However this morning the pump flow seems to have been greatly reduced. As soon as I unplugged the air intake the flow seemed to be returned. |

An air intake will make the pump _seem_ much faster without necessarily (or even likely) improving flow. -- derek |
