Review on Powerful Submersible Odyssea EX 350 DX Internal Filter Water Pump for Aquariums by Donia Carey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Vibration noise on aquarium pumps and filters

Bought two of these before and one works fine (about two years later, still works!). But the other made a moderate noise and finally stopped working. So bought this new one, didn't install it for months (because I was a bit lazy!), but did it this weekend and unfortunately it's worse in volume. Moves a lot of water so not a problem but vibrates so much I can hear it 40ft away when attached to the glass with the included suction cups. Noisy. I checked this and I think the impeller is too small for the device and this is what is causing the vibration. The original, which still runs silently, has a slightly larger and different impeller shape. Anyway, it's too late for me to go back, so I'll just take it as a lesson learned: cheap in price can be just as good, but not always. I will try another product/supplier.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Band
