Afternoon,

I have 2 of these on a Koralia wave maker. One makes a simple tick sound when its turned on and the other makes more of a grinding sound when it receives power. I don't mind the tick but the grinding still sounds unsettling to me. Does this one possible need to be cleaned? Or is it just hit or miss on what sound they make?

Thanks,
Salt

I'd soak them in vinegar. Sounds like you might have some build up.. but then again they are 20 dollar powerheads, so don't expect perfection. Mine has been fine for the last 9 months though.. it makes some ticking on start up, but it's been running for 8 months 24/7 minus a couple of cleanings.

Mine lost a little plastic/rubber piece off of the front removable assembly. I just super glued it back and all is quiet again. (Also the water flow was in reverse). Might want to check for that.
