Ya, I gotta say, my ER is almost silent. I had it in my living room and never heard it. The only time I heard it all was whenI had my head inside the cabinet. Compared to my old beckett skimmer, this thing is a dream. I would buy another.

I ran a CS100 for a few years. Long enough to wear out the impeller. I found it worked very well, and was built for long term use.

I think you can get a wide variety of sound levels, depending on how the skimmer is sitting in your sump. It will cause the sump to vibrate, so if that vibration is amplified in any way, it could be very loud. If you can control vibration noise, the sound of one pump and the venturi is very reasonable.

I did not have any problems with microbubbles, provided I had the foam properly positioned on the output of the skimmer.
