driver making a buzzing noise

DEIGNAN14 · 12/31/2004, 08:25 AM

Ive had my streams up since macna. Tonight seems like one driver is letting out this squeal. Does not sound good... Any idea what is going on?

Thanks
Jason

Yes, the pump is jammed up with calcium or a part of the drive unit is broken. Dissassemble the pump and clean it. This is a safety alarm that notifies you, you are past due to clean the pump and it has jammed.

Turns out a snail was jamming the props when they turned on.
Removed snail, problem gone! Whee!
