Beckett noise

[Zerandise]

Anyone know how to stop a beckett injector that rattles like no tomorrow? I mkeen it totaly hides the sound of a Mak4. If not i guess i am in need of a new one.

Thanks folks!!!

Are you talking about the sound of the air going into the injector

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.

Jack did the teflon tape trick to mine and it's been silent ever since

worked like a charm!

Now just if i can replace the Mak4 with a quieter pump or find a way to make it a bit less rumbler

Thanks Jack!

Hey Rob, if you do get a newer pump (down the road) and want to get ride of the mak..... I can think of a good home

[Zerandise]

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.

Blueline pumps are soposed to be wicked quiet

In the pressure rated class Bluelines are quieter than Mak and Iwaki, IME.
