Tunze 6095 Issue

rswarden43 · 04/22/2016, 06:03 PM

I recently purchased a 6095. My issue is it has a load hum when at 100% power. When it drops back to 35% it does not produce any noise. I have a 6105, and a 6055 currently running and they don't produce any noise. The only major difference is the new mounting system on the 6095. Is there something I should look for to address this issue?

Thanks in advance.

I just got a new 6095 as well, and it is generally much louder than my older 6095 at any speed. Its a hum/rattle

Only difference I see is the mount.

Following along to see what to check for.

You can generally expect any pump to be noisier for the first couple weeks, air bubbles trapped in the impeller well and parts wearing in are the main cause, as a general rule we expect a 50% reduction in noise after 2 weeks and a further 50% after 2 months. The only moving part is the impeller, if noise persists past the break in phase. It will be the impeller that is the cause. A 6095 should have about the same noise level as a 6105 but a 6055 would be quieter.

Ok, I will keep an ear on it to see if it in fact decreases. Thanks for the response.
