What causes unusual noises in Tetra EX 1200 Plus Water Filtration Systems during operation?
If you notice unusual noises from your Tetra Water Filtration System during operation, it could be due to several factors. The foam pre-filter might be clogged and needs cleaning. Try opening the stop valves to increase the flow rate if the flow is insufficient. Applying a commercially available lubricant like Vaseline to the O-rings may help if they lack sufficient lubrication. If there's uneven water circulation, disconnect and reconnect the power plug to restart the filter. Ensure the top edge of the filter head is at least 10 cm below the water level. Carefully shake the filter to release any trapped air. The sound might also be caused by air bubbles from aquatic plants, which requires no action. Lastly, ensure the start button isn't accidentally pressed during operation.
