As the title states my evo 13.5 pump is kind of noisy, any help with an upgrade suggestion would be great! Thanks!

I'm about to setup an Evo. I'm thinking about getting an Axis 20. I have one in the back chamber of my AIO that has a sump upgrade. I like the app and control ability.

If your handy pull the pump out. Clean the impeller and impeller chamber with Qtip Put a very thin coating (and I mean very thin) of plain un-scented Vaseline on the impeller shaft magnet and a tiny dab on rubber end tips. Reassemble. Should quiet it down. If not time for a new pump.
