FWIW - it’s actually 3/8” glass, I believe. My bad!

I've got 2 x DMP10's on my 120 litre setup. Until recently, both were totall silent - but 1 has recently started making a very pronounced whirring noise which changes with motor speed. Wet / dry side aligment does help to some extent, but now thinking there is some debris trapped somewhere inside, so will strip it and see what I can find.

@@vtrnutter Curious what you find inside! Please share. I’m on Insta under the same name, if it’s easier to hit me up there.

@kalamazoo_reefer I dismantled it earlier - you can get to the magnet and rear of the impeller by undoing the 4 clips holding it together. There was some gunk in there that I cleaned out but it has not stopped the noise. Further investigation needed.

@@vtrnutter Wow, interesting. Is the motor/magnets rubbing against the “body” somehow, do you think?

@@kalamazoo_reefer I really don't know - it's odd as was totally silent for first couple of months. The other DMP10 still is. I'll keep looking into it after Christmas, will have to live with it for now.

@@kalamazoo_reefer strangely, after dismantling, and general playing with the noisy one this afternoon. I switch it off entirely for a few hours. When switched back on it was noisy for half an hour or so, now is dead silent again. All very odd. Hope it stays that way!

Thanks for the heads up 😊 maybe the thinner the glass the better .

@kalamazoo_reefer 2 ай бұрын

If I had to guess, I’d say 1/4” glass is the sweet spot. I misspoke in the video. My glass is 3/8” thick, and the magnet is a little weak for that, but it still holds fine.

@kalamazoo_reefer Very valuable information ! Thank you. 😀

Have 2 ecotech mp10’s on 1/2 inch waterbox glass and they’re just enough to hold on, but definitely had to fine tune position of wet side to keep both sides synced properly. Otherwise they would flutter or even completely separate when I turned up the rpm’s… reaching the limits of the magnets is not fun.

@kalamazoo_reefer 2 ай бұрын

@ Yeah, 10’s on half inch being a struggle makes sense. Heck, VorTech MP10’s can’t hold on at 1/2”. They fell off for me, back when I ran them. Had to rig them up to not fall off.

So I have 6mm glass roughly 1/4 inch . I actually think the glass is too thin I increased the spacing on the wet side so it's further away from the glass and it's almost dead silent. It is basically sitting on top of the rubber suction cup holder

I got the DMP10 and it made the noise at first. I was extremely frustrated. Especially because your other video posted a couple weeks ago insisted that it’s dead silent. But after making micro-adjustments, my 10 is dead silent. I put the wetside on first and then line up the dryside, looking eye-level with the edges of the wet/dry side so the circles are in just the right spot. I don’t think it matters the rotation and mine doesn’t need support from the cord. That looks ratchet tbh. Good information though. More podcast pls ty!

Boom! I love it! This is exactly what I found, as well. I was hoping someone else had the same experience to share. Thank you for sharing! And yes, I need to crank out another podcast episode. It’s been a crazy semester for me. I’ll get to it! Just spread thin at the moment 😂

Was sooo excited for this pump, got it yesterday after about 25 days. it is unbearable the weird high pitched whine noise coming from it.

@kalamazoo_reefer Ай бұрын

The DMP-10, I take it. I’d take apart the wetside entirely and put it back together, and then follow the steps in the video. What glass thickness you working with?

@poseidonblacksea9506 Ай бұрын

Hello, i have a dmp30 and i get a lot of noice from the dry side. I aligned them and even played with the wet side like you suggested but the noice proceeds. I have 15mm glass.

@kalamazoo_reefer Ай бұрын

@@poseidonblacksea9506 Interesting. I have not experienced that with either of my DMP30s. I’ve got them on 13mm glass. I wonder if it’s just an issue with the dryside motor not being properly positioned. It’s possible. I’d pursue a return. At least a couple of those AliE sellers have been good about returns, I’ve heard.

Still wondering if the DMPs will sync with each other. I think that I am going to get at least one, but syncing would seal the deal for me.

I was having that noise issue and have started trying to fix it. Just made it unbearably worse. The noise is from the dry side. I can hear it anywhere in the room at the lowest setting. I will keep trying but I’m nervous this one may be unusable. I have a DMP 20 on the way because I thought it may be quiet to run a larger one at a lower setting.

@kalamazoo_reefer 2 ай бұрын

I always size up and run lower speeds. Less wear on the wavemaker. But the -20, -30, and -40 haven’t exhibited this sound challenge for me, even at higher speed settings. Hope yours quiets down with time.
