How To Fix Broken Stopped Rattling, Noisy Filter or Pump in Aquariums or Ponds
Filter pumps in aquariums or ponds stop or slow down very frequently and most people think they are broken. Most of the time filter pumps in ponds or aquariums stop working is due to the fact that the impeller has become so dirty that it is blocked and cannot move, or it has broken altogether. Cleaning or replacing this part usually the best way to fix a broken aquarium or pond pump.

    Hi there, I’ve recently gotten a new “all in one” tank. I’ve had to replace the filter 3 times in the last week because it begins to make a loud rattling noise. The last replacement that I got seemed to be fine but after about 2 days has begun to rattle. At this point I’m considering taking the entire tank back to the shop. Any ideas? It’s a Jebo R338 tank.

    I barely received a marine land 350 and connected it to my aquarium… it didn’t make any noise but as I continued to add more water to reduce the splash noise, it began to make a slight gurgling noise… not sure if this is impeller related but idk what I can do to stop that noise. I’ve let it run for about 2 hrs and it has increased in noise. (Not sure if this is the issue but I let it run with no filter cartridges… not sure if that changes anything) hope someone can help me with this 🥺

    I had the u3 filter, after my first water change the filter didn't work, I panicked and drive to pets at home and paid twice as much for the same pump then what I brought online. then when I got home took it out box and went to set it up and the first filter kicked into gear. they wouldn't take it back, so I sold the new one on gumtree for half the price even though it hasn't been in water, and the cheeky bugger wanted another £10 off when he turned up to collect.

    Not much fixing to be done when it comes to impellers. If the flow is shit, just clean it out. If its making noise, usually your fucked and you have to replace either the impeller, or the impeller shaft. Happened to my filter yesterday, as well as my wave maker a while ago. Eventually a tiny rock or piece of sand makes it way in there, and it just spins and spins and spins and grinds against the shaft and inner impeller making these wear lines, if you see that, dont bother some DIY fixit bullcrap, just replace it.
