![]() Rob,
It's a common problem with beckett injectors to have this happen, more so on stronger pumps, but luckly it's an easy fix. Get some teflon tape and break off a 2" piece roll it like thread and wind that around the two "arms" of the beckett. This keeps the "rocket" from rattling back and forth in the housing. I hope that makes sense. Cya |

![]() you got it
![]() I just dont know if there is a pressure rated pump that is quieter than the mak. Its not overly loud but with the wifes desk 3 feet from it..... It is the only thing left on my tank that makes any noise. I am thinking of making a housing for it lined with carpet padding. I fan add a can to remove any hot air around it as well so the heat doesnt go into my water instead. ![]() |
