Help with noisy mag3 pump

[kevinpaz]

Thanks for the note - i'll give it a try.

Unfortunately most of the noise is coming from the pump. It's a loud banging type noise - it sounds like the magnetic cylinder is banging against the sides of the chamber or something. It was quiet on day 1 - but it's almost intollerable.

Is this a defective model, or is there some trick i'm missing to keep it in "tune"?

After taking it apart and cleaning all the magnetic parts it's running a lot better now. I suppose I should have tried before asking. =|:-)

Thanks for the tip above tho - it will definitely help.
