I'm seriously considering removing the in-sump 1262 that runs my accessories. It's been driving me nuts for days. It may have something to do with all the Highway construction that runs from dusk 'till dawn, but regardless, I have become sensitive to humming ....

I have found that, because of the way I plumbed the PVC and Spa flex for the accessories, I had to clamp the plumbing to the wall to stop sagging, and now the humming is too much
Even with the acc pump off, the noise from the return pump is still transmitted through the plumbing, so I need to make some changes
I'm glad this came up now, before I start stocking the tank

I am considering buying some Eheim compacts to run each accessory by itself with vinyl hose, thus ( hopefully ) eliminating the need to clamp stuff to the wall

I have some return re-plumbing to do that is also vibrating
I may or may not wait until I do that before I decide what to do next ........

Is there an icon for 'pull-your-hair-out'
