Pull out the impeller and take a snap of the shaft if you could, especially the ends.

cleaning the pump once a month wouldn't hurt either, I used to do all my pumps once aq month and they did get louder if I left them for a while longer.

Attached is a pic of new and old impeller units
Impeller at bottom of pic is the newer one. They look identical at a glance. In any case, the unit does not appear dirty or anything, but still sounds louder than the first month......hey, perhaps it's just me but has anyone else noticed this?

It a known problem with the Vertex, there was a bad batch of impellers. If you pull off the shaft from the impeller you will see wear marks on the shaft and the bore of the impeller will be ovaled out, this causes the impeller to vibrate. Replacing the shaft with a worn impeller does not help as it wills still vibrate. Contact the mfg, they will give you a new impeller. I have the ph number around here, the distributer is in Richmond, B.C.
